John 16:25-33

English Standard Version

I Have Overcome the World

²⁵“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. ^(A)The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 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; ²⁷^(B)for the Father himself loves you, because ^(C)you have loved me and ^(D)have believed that I came from God.^[a] ²⁸^(E)I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now ^(F)I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

²⁹His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not ^(G)using figurative speech! ³⁰Now we know that ^(H)you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that ^(I)you came from God.” ³¹Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? ³²Behold, ^(J)the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when ^(K)you will be scattered, each to his own home, and ^(L)will leave me alone. ^(M)Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³I have said these things to you, that ^(N)in me you may have peace. ^(O)In the world you will have ^(P)tribulation. But ^(Q)take heart; ^(R)I have overcome the world.”

John 16:27 Some manuscripts from the Father

Job 31:24-40

English Standard Version

²⁴^(A)“If I have made gold my ^(B)trust
    or called ^(C)fine gold my confidence,
²⁵if I have ^(D)rejoiced because my wealth was abundant
    or because ^(E)my hand had found much,
²⁶^(F)if I have looked at the sun^[a] when it shone,
    or ^(G)the moon moving in splendor,
²⁷and my heart has been secretly enticed,
    and my mouth has kissed my hand,
²⁸this also would be ^(H)an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
    for I would have been false to God above.

²⁹“If I have ^(I)rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me,
    or exulted when evil overtook him
³⁰(^(J)I have not let my mouth sin
    by asking for his life with a curse),
³¹if the men of my tent have not said,
    ‘Who is there that has not been filled with his ^(K)meat?’
³²(^(L)the sojourner has not lodged in the street;
    I have opened my doors to the traveler),
³³if I ^(M)have concealed my transgressions ^(N)as others do^[b]
    by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
³⁴because I stood in great fear of ^(O)the multitude,
    and the contempt of families terrified me,
    so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—
³⁵Oh, that I had one to hear me!
    (Here is my signature! Let the Almighty ^(P)answer me!)
    Oh, that I had ^(Q)the indictment written by my adversary!
³⁶Surely I would carry it on my ^(R)shoulder;
    I would ^(S)bind it on me as ^(T)a crown;
³⁷I would give him an account of all my steps;
    like a prince I would approach him.

³⁸“If my land has cried out against me
    and its furrows have wept together,
³⁹^(U)if I have eaten its yield without payment
    and made its owners ^(V)breathe their last,
⁴⁰let ^(W)thorns grow instead of wheat,
    and foul weeds instead of barley.”
