And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
John 16 : 9 (ESV)
concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

John 16 : 18 (ESV)
So they were saying, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We do not know what he is talking about."
John 16 : 19 (ESV)

So 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.
John 16 : 23 (ESV)
In 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.
John 16 : 24 (ESV)

John 16 : 25 (ESV)
"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.
John 16 : 26 (ESV)
In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;
John 16 : 27 (ESV)
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
John 16 : 28 (ESV)
I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father."
John 16 : 29 (ESV)
His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech!
John 16 : 30 (ESV)
Now 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."
John 16 : 31 (ESV)
Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
John 16 : 32 (ESV)

John 16 : 33 (ESV)
I 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."
