Tree Of Life Version

John 16:8-20 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

8. “When He comes, He will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment:

9. concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10. concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;

11. and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12. “I still have much more to tell you, but you cannot handle it just now.

13. But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; but whatever He hears, He will tell you. And He will declare to you the things that are to come.

14. He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.

15. Everything that the Father has is Mine. For this reason I said the Ruach will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.”

16. “A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again in a little while, you will see Me.”

17. Then some of His disciples said to one another, “What does He mean by telling us, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again in a little while, you will see Me’? And, ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

18. They kept on saying, “What’s this He’s saying, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what He’s talking about!”

19. Yeshua knew that they wanted to question Him, so He said to them, “Are you asking each other about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again in a little while, you will see Me’?

20. Amen, amen I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will celebrate. You will be filled with sorrow, but your sorrow will turn to joy!
