von SCM Verlag1Dies habe ich zu euch geredet, damit ihr keinen Anstoß nehmt[1]. (Mt 13,21)2Sie werden euch aus der Synagoge ausschließen; es kommt sogar die Stunde, dass jeder, der euch tötet, meinen wird, Gott einen Dienst zu tun[2]. (Mt 24,9; Joh 9,22; Joh 15,20; Joh 16,33)3Und dies werden sie tun, weil sie weder den Vater noch mich erkannt haben. (Joh 8,19; Röm 10,2; 1Joh 3,1)4Dies aber habe ich zu euch geredet, damit ihr, wenn ihre Stunde[3] gekommen ist, euch daran erinnert, dass ich es euch gesagt habe. Dies aber habe ich euch von Anfang an nicht gesagt, weil ich bei euch war. (Joh 13,19)
Die Wirksamkeit des Heiligen Geistes
5Jetzt aber gehe ich hin zu dem, der mich gesandt hat, und niemand von euch fragt mich: Wohin gehst du?, (Joh 7,33; Joh 13,36; Joh 16,16)6sondern weil ich dies zu euch geredet habe, hat Traurigkeit euer Herz erfüllt. (Mt 17,23; Joh 16,22)7Doch ich sage euch die Wahrheit: Es ist euch nützlich, dass ich weggehe, denn wenn ich nicht weggehe, wird der Beistand[4] nicht zu euch kommen; wenn ich aber hingehe, werde ich ihn zu euch senden. (Joh 7,39)8Und wenn er gekommen ist, wird er die Welt überführen von Sünde und von Gerechtigkeit und von Gericht.9Von Sünde, weil sie nicht an mich glauben; (Joh 8,24)10von Gerechtigkeit aber, weil ich zum Vater gehe und ihr mich nicht mehr seht; (1Tim 3,16)11von Gericht aber, weil der Fürst dieser Welt gerichtet ist. (Joh 12,31)12Noch vieles habe ich euch zu sagen, aber ihr könnt es jetzt nicht tragen.13Wenn aber jener, der Geist der Wahrheit, gekommen ist, wird er euch in die ganze Wahrheit[5] leiten; denn er wird nicht aus sich selbst reden, sondern was er hören wird, wird er reden, und das Kommende wird er euch verkündigen. (Ps 25,5; Joh 14,17; Joh 14,26; Apg 21,11; 1Kor 2,10; 1Tim 4,1; 1Joh 2,27; Offb 22,6)14Er wird mich verherrlichen, denn von dem Meinen wird er nehmen und euch verkündigen. (1Kor 2,12)15Alles, was der Vater hat, ist mein; darum sagte ich, dass er von dem Meinen nimmt und euch verkündigen wird. (Joh 3,35)
Trost und Freude im Blick auf Jesu Abscheiden und Wiederkehr
16Eine kleine ⟨Weile⟩, und ihr seht mich nicht mehr, und wieder eine kleine ⟨Weile⟩, und ihr werdet mich sehen. (Mt 28,7; Joh 14,19; Apg 1,3)17Es sprachen nun einige von seinen Jüngern zueinander: Was ist das, was er zu uns sagt: Eine kleine ⟨Weile⟩, und ihr seht mich nicht, und wieder eine kleine ⟨Weile⟩, und ihr werdet mich sehen, und: Ich gehe hin zum Vater?18Sie sprachen nun: Was ist das für eine »kleine ⟨Weile⟩«, wovon er redet? Wir wissen nicht, was er sagt.19Jesus erkannte, dass sie ihn fragen wollten, und sprach zu ihnen: Forscht ihr darüber miteinander, dass ich sagte: Eine kleine ⟨Weile⟩, und ihr seht mich nicht, und wieder eine kleine ⟨Weile⟩, und ihr werdet mich sehen?20Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch, dass ihr weinen und wehklagen werdet, aber die Welt wird sich freuen; ihr werdet traurig sein, aber eure Traurigkeit wird zur Freude werden. (Jes 61,3; Mt 5,4; Mk 2,20)21Die Frau hat Traurigkeit, wenn sie gebiert, weil ihre Stunde gekommen ist; wenn sie aber das Kind geboren hat, gedenkt sie nicht mehr der Bedrängnis um der Freude willen, dass ein Mensch in die Welt geboren ist. (Jes 26,17)22Auch ihr nun habt jetzt zwar Traurigkeit; aber ich werde euch wiedersehen, und euer Herz wird sich freuen, und eure Freude nimmt niemand von euch. (Lk 24,41; Joh 16,6; Joh 20,20)23Und an jenem Tag werdet ihr mich nichts fragen. Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Was ihr den Vater bitten werdet in meinem Namen, wird er euch geben.24Bis jetzt habt ihr nichts gebeten in meinem Namen. Bittet, und ihr werdet empfangen, damit eure Freude völlig sei! (Joh 14,13; Joh 15,11)25Dies habe ich in Bildreden zu euch geredet; es kommt die Stunde, da ich nicht mehr in Bildreden zu euch sprechen, sondern euch offen von dem Vater verkündigen werde. (Joh 10,6)26An jenem Tag werdet ihr bitten in meinem Namen, und ich sage euch nicht, dass ich den Vater für euch bitten werde;27denn der Vater selbst hat euch lieb, weil ihr mich geliebt und geglaubt habt, dass ich von Gott ausgegangen bin. (Joh 14,21; Joh 17,8; 1Joh 3,1)28Ich bin von dem Vater ausgegangen und in die Welt gekommen; wieder verlasse ich die Welt und gehe zum Vater. (Joh 8,14; Joh 16,5)29Seine Jünger sprechen zu ihm: Siehe, jetzt redest du offen und gebrauchst keine Bildrede;30jetzt wissen wir, dass du alles weißt und nicht nötig hast, dass dich jemand fragt; hierdurch glauben wir, dass du von Gott ausgegangen bist. (Joh 2,25)31Jesus antwortete ihnen: Glaubt ihr jetzt?32Siehe, es kommt die Stunde und ist gekommen, dass ihr euch zerstreuen werdet, ein jeder in seine Heimat[6] und mich allein lassen werdet; doch ich bin nicht allein, denn der Vater ist bei mir. (Ps 69,21; Mt 26,31; Joh 8,16)33Dies habe ich zu euch geredet, damit ihr in mir Frieden habt. In der Welt habt ihr Bedrängnis; aber seid guten Mutes, ich habe die Welt überwunden. (Joh 14,27; Joh 16,2; Phil 4,7; 1Thess 3,3; 1Joh 5,4; Offb 3,21)
Johannes 16
English Standard Version
von Crossway1“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. (Joh 4,21; Joh 9,22; Joh 12,42; Apg 8,1; Apg 9,1; Apg 26,9)3And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. (Joh 8,19; Joh 8,55; Joh 15,21; Joh 17,25)
The Work of the Holy Spirit
4But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. (Mt 9,15; Lk 22,53; Joh 13,19; Joh 14,29)5But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ (Joh 13,36; Joh 14,5; Joh 14,12)6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. (Joh 14,1; Joh 16,22)7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. (Joh 7,39; Joh 14,2; Joh 14,16; Joh 14,26; Joh 15,26; Apg 2,33)8And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: (Joh 8,28; Joh 8,46)9concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; (Joh 8,24; Apg 2,36; Apg 2,37; 1Kor 12,3)10concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; (Joh 16,17; Joh 16,19; Apg 17,31)11concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. (Joh 12,31; Kol 2,15; Hebr 2,14)12“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. (Ps 25,5; Joh 14,17; Joh 14,26; Joh 15,15; Apg 1,17; Apg 8,31; Apg 14,6)14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. (Joh 7,39)15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. (Joh 16,14; Joh 17,10)
Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy
16“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” (Joh 7,33; Joh 16,22)17So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?” (Mk 9,10; Mk 9,32; Joh 16,10; Joh 16,16)18So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” (Joh 14,5)19Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? (Joh 2,24; Joh 2,25)20Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. (Jer 31,13; Mt 5,4; Mt 9,15; Mk 16,10; Lk 23,27; Offb 11,10)21When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. (Ps 48,6; Jes 13,8; Jes 26,17; 1Thess 5,3; Offb 12,2)22So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. (Ps 33,21; Jes 66,14; Lk 24,52; Joh 16,6; Joh 16,16; Apg 2,46; Apg 8,8; Apg 8,39; Apg 13,52; 2Kor 6,10)23In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. (Joh 14,13; Joh 14,20; Joh 15,16; Joh 16,19; Joh 16,26; Eph 1,3)24Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (Mt 7,7; Joh 15,11)
I Have Overcome the World
25“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. (Joh 16,2)26In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;27for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.[1] (Joh 14,21; Joh 14,23; Joh 16,30; Joh 17,8; Joh 17,23; Joh 21,15; 1Kor 16,22)28I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.” (Joh 8,14; Joh 13,3; Joh 14,12)29His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! (Joh 16,25)30Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.” (Joh 2,24; Joh 2,25; Joh 3,2; Joh 21,17)31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?32Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. (Jes 63,5; Mt 26,31; Mk 14,27; Joh 4,21; Joh 4,23; Joh 8,16; Joh 8,29)33I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (Joh 14,1; Joh 14,27; Joh 15,18; Apg 14,22; Röm 8,37; Kol 3,15; 1Joh 4,4; 1Joh 5,4; 1Joh 5,5; Offb 1,9; Offb 3,21; Offb 12,11)
Johannes 16
King James Version
1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.5But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?6But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:9Of sin, because they believe not on me;10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.16A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.17Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?18They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.21A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:27For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.29His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.30Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.31Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?32Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Gesù avverte i suoi delle persecuzioni future
1«Io vi ho detto queste cose affinché non siate sviati.2Vi espelleranno dalle sinagoghe; anzi, l’ora viene che chiunque vi ucciderà, crederà di rendere un culto a Dio.3Faranno questo perché non hanno conosciuto né il Padre né me.4Ma io vi ho detto queste cose affinché, quando sia giunta la loro ora, vi ricordiate che ve le ho dette. Non ve le dissi da principio perché ero con voi.
Lo Spirito agisce nel mondo e nei discepoli
5«Ma ora vado a colui che mi ha mandato; e nessuno di voi mi domanda: “Dove vai?”6Invece, perché vi ho detto queste cose, la tristezza vi ha riempito il cuore.7Eppure, io vi dico la verità: è utile per voi che io me ne vada; perché se non me ne vado, non verrà a voi il Consolatore; ma se me ne vado, io ve lo manderò.8Quando sarà venuto, convincerà il mondo quanto al peccato, alla giustizia e al giudizio.9Quanto al peccato, perché non credono in me;10quanto alla giustizia, perché vado al Padre e non mi vedrete più;11quanto al giudizio, perché il principe di questo mondo[1] è stato giudicato.12Ho ancora molte cose da dirvi, ma non sono per ora alla vostra portata;13quando però sarà venuto lui, lo Spirito della verità, egli vi guiderà in tutta la verità, perché non parlerà di suo, ma dirà tutto quello che avrà udito, e vi annuncerà le cose a venire.14Egli mi glorificherà perché prenderà del mio e ve lo annuncerà.15Tutte le cose che ha il Padre, sono mie; per questo ho detto che prenderà del mio e ve lo annuncerà.
Gesù parla della sua morte, della sua risurrezione e della sua venuta
16«Tra poco non mi vedrete più; e tra un altro poco mi vedrete».17Allora alcuni dei suoi discepoli dissero tra di loro: «Che cos’è questo che ci dice: “Tra poco non mi vedrete più” e: “Tra un altro poco mi vedrete” e: “Perché vado al Padre”?»18Dicevano dunque: «Che cos’è questo “tra poco” {che egli dice}? Noi non sappiamo quello che egli voglia dire».19Gesù comprese che volevano interrogarlo e disse loro: «Voi vi domandate l’un l’altro che cosa significano quelle mie parole: “Tra poco non mi vedrete più” e: “Tra un altro poco mi vedrete”?20In verità, in verità vi dico che voi piangerete e farete cordoglio, e il mondo si rallegrerà. Sarete rattristati, ma la vostra tristezza sarà cambiata in gioia.21La donna, quando partorisce, prova dolore perché è venuta la sua ora; ma quando ha dato alla luce il bambino, non si ricorda più dell’angoscia, per la gioia che sia venuta al mondo una creatura umana.22Così anche voi siete ora nel dolore; ma io vi vedrò di nuovo e il vostro cuore si rallegrerà, e nessuno vi toglierà la vostra gioia.23In quel giorno non mi rivolgerete alcuna domanda. In verità, in verità vi dico che qualsiasi cosa domanderete al Padre nel mio nome, egli ve la darà.24Fino ad ora non avete chiesto nulla nel mio nome; chiedete e riceverete, affinché la vostra gioia sia completa.25Vi ho detto queste cose in similitudini; l’ora viene che non vi parlerò più in similitudini, ma apertamente vi farò conoscere il Padre.26In quel giorno chiederete nel mio nome; e non vi dico che io pregherò il Padre per voi,27poiché il Padre stesso vi ama, perché mi avete amato e avete creduto che sono proceduto da Dio.28Sono proceduto dal Padre e sono venuto nel mondo; ora lascio il mondo, e vado al Padre».29I suoi discepoli dissero: «Ecco, adesso tu parli apertamente e non usi similitudini.30Ora sappiamo che sai ogni cosa e non hai bisogno che nessuno ti interroghi; perciò crediamo che sei proceduto da Dio».31Gesù rispose loro: «Adesso credete?32L’ora viene, anzi è venuta, che sarete dispersi, ciascuno per conto suo, e mi lascerete solo; ma io non sono solo, perché il Padre è con me.33Vi ho detto queste cose, affinché abbiate pace in me. Nel mondo avete tribolazione; ma fatevi coraggio, io ho vinto il mondo».
