Yochanan 16:24-33 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

24. Until now you did not ask anything b'Shem of me. Ask and you will receive that the simcha of you may be shleimah.

25. Regarding these things I have spoken figuratively. [TEHILLIM 78:2; YECHEZKEL 20:49] A sha'ah comes when no longer I will speak figuratively to you, but will announce plainly to you concerning HaAv.

26. On that day b'Shem of me you will ask, and I do not say to you that I will ask HaAv concerning you.

27. For HaAv Himself has ahavah for you, because you have ahavah for me and have emunah that I came forth from HaAv.

28. I came from HaAv and I have come into the Olam Hazeh. Again I leave the Olam Hazeh and go to HaAv.

29. The talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach say, Hinei, see now you speak plainly and no longer figuratively do you speak.

30. Now we know that you have da'as of all things, and you have no need that any test you with any she'elah (question). By this we have emunah that you came forth from Hashem. [1Kg 17:24]

31. He answered them, Do you have emunah?

32. Hinei a sha'ah (hour, time) is coming and has come, that you are SCATTERED [ZECHARYAH 13:7] each one to his own home, and you leave me alone, but I am not alone, because HaAv is with me.

33. These things I have spoken to you that in me you may have shalom. In the Olam Hazeh you have tribulation; but have lev same'ach. I have conquered the Olam Hazeh.
