John 16
1 ये बातें मैं ने तुम से इसलिये कहीं कि तुम ठोकर न खाओ।
2 वे तुम्हें आराधनालयों में से निकाल देंगे, वरन वह समय आता है, कि जो कोई तुम्हें मार डालेगा वह समझेगा कि मैं परमेश्वर की सेवा करता हूं।
3 और यह वे इसलिये करेंगे कि उन्होंने न पिता को जाना है और न मुझे जानते हैं।
4 परन्तु ये बातें मैं ने इसलिये तुम से कहीं, कि जब उन का समय आए तो तुम्हें स्मरण आ जाए, कि मैं ने तुम से पहिले ही कह दिया था: और मैं ने आरम्भ में तुम से ये बातें इसलिये नहीं कहीं क्योंकि मैं तुम्हारे साथ था।
5 अब मैं अपने भेजने वाले के पास जाता हूं और तुम में से कोई मुझ से नहीं पूछता, कि तू कहां जाता है?
6 परन्तु मैं ने जो ये बातें तुम से कही हैं, इसलिये तुम्हारा मन शोक से भर गया।
7 तौभी मैं तुम से सच कहता हूं, कि मेरा जाना तुम्हारे लिये अच्छा है, क्योंकि यदि मैं न जाऊं, तो वह सहायक तुम्हारे पास न आएगा, परन्तु यदि मैं जाऊंगा, तो उसे तुम्हारे पास भेज दूंगा।
8 और वह आकर संसार को पाप और धामिर्कता और न्याय के विषय में निरूत्तर करेगा।
9 पाप के विषय में इसलिये कि वे मुझ पर विश्वास नहीं करते।
10 और धामिर्कता के विषय में इसलिये कि मैं पिता के पास जाता हूं,
11 और तुम मुझे फिर न देखोगे: न्याय के विषय में इसलिये कि संसार का सरदार दोषी ठहराया गया है।
12 मुझे तुम से और भी बहुत सी बातें कहनी हैं, परन्तु अभी तुम उन्हें सह नहीं सकते।
13 परन्तु जब वह अर्थात सत्य का आत्मा आएगा, तो तुम्हें सब सत्य का मार्ग बताएगा, क्योंकि वह अपनी ओर से न कहेगा, परन्तु जो कुछ सुनेगा, वही कहेगा, और आनेवाली बातें तुम्हें बताएगा।
14 वह मेरी महिमा करेगा, क्योंकि वह मेरी बातों में से लेकर तुम्हें बताएगा।
15 जो कुछ पिता का है, वह सब मेरा है; इसलिये मैं ने कहा, कि वह मेरी बातों में से लेकर तुम्हें बताएगा।
16 थोड़ी देर तुम मुझे न देखोगे, और फिर थोड़ी देर में मुझे देखोगे।
17 तब उसके कितने चेलों ने आपस में कहा, यह क्या है, जो वह हम से कहता है, कि थोड़ी देर में तुम मुझे न देखोगे, और फिर थोड़ी देर में मुझे देखोगे? और यह इसलिये कि मैं कि मैं पिता के पास जाता हूं?
18 तब उन्होंने कहा, यह थोड़ी देर जो वह कहता है, क्या बात है? हम नहीं जानते, कि क्या कहता है।
19 यीशु ने यह जानकर, कि वे मुझ से पूछना चाहते हैं, उन से कहा, क्या तुम आपस में मेरी इस बाते के विषय में पूछ पाछ करते हो, कि थोड़ी देर में तुम मुझे न देखोगे, और फिर थोड़ी देर में मुझे देखोगे।
20 मैं तुम से सच सच कहता हूं; कि तुम रोओगे और विलाप करोगे, परन्तु संसार आनन्द करेगा: तुम्हें शोक होगा, परन्तु तुम्हारा शोक आनन्द बन जाएगा।
21 जब स्त्री जनने लगती है तो उस को शोक होता है, क्योंकि उस की दु:ख की घड़ी आ पहुंची, परन्तु जब वह बालक जन्म चुकी तो इस आनन्द से कि जगत में एक मनुष्य उत्पन्न हुआ, उस संकट को फिर स्मरण नहीं करती।
22 और तुम्हें भी अब तो शोक है, परन्तु मैं तुम से फिर मिलूंगा और तुम्हारे मन में आनन्द होगा; और तुम्हारा आनन्द कोई तुम से छीन न लेगा।
23 उस दिन तुम मुझ से कुछ न पूछोगे: मैं तुम से सच सच कहता हूं, यदि पिता से कुछ मांगोगे, तो वह मेरे नाम से तुम्हें देगा।
24 अब तक तुम ने मेरे नाम से कुछ नहीं मांगा; मांगो तो पाओगे ताकि तुम्हारा आनन्द पूरा हो जाए॥
25 मैं ने ये बातें तुम से दृष्टान्तों में कही हैं, परन्तु वह समय आता है, कि मैं तुम से दृष्टान्तों में और फिर नहीं कहूंगा परन्तु खोलकर तुम्हें पिता के विषय में बताऊंगा।
26 उस दिन तुम मेरे नाम से मांगोगे, और मैं तुम से यह नहीं कहता, कि मैं तुम्हारे लिये पिता से बिनती करूंगा।
27 क्योंकि पिता तो आप ही तुम से प्रीति रखता है, इसलिये कि तुम ने मुझ से प्रीति रखी है, और यह भी प्रतीति की है, कि मैं पिता कि ओर से निकल आया।
28 मैं पिता से निकलकर जगत में आया हूं, फिर जगत को छोड़कर पिता के पास जाता हूं।
29 उसके चेलों ने कहा, देख, अब तो तू खोलकर कहता है, और कोई दृष्टान्त नहीं कहता।
30 अब हम जान गए, कि तू सब कुछ जानता है, और तुझे प्रयोजन नहीं, कि कोई तुझ से पूछे, इस से हम प्रतीति करते हैं, कि तू परमेश्वर से निकला है।
31 यह सुन यीशु ने उन से कहा, क्या तुम अब प्रतीति करते हो?
32 देखो, वह घड़ी आती है वरन आ पहुंची कि तुम सब तित्तर बित्तर होकर अपना अपना मार्ग लोगे, और मुझे अकेला छोड़ दोगे, तौभी मैं अकेला नहीं क्योंकि पिता मेरे साथ है।
33 मैं ने ये बातें तुम से इसलिये कही हैं, कि तुम्हें मुझ में शान्ति मिले; संसार में तुम्हें क्लेश होता है, परन्तु ढाढ़स बांधो, मैं ने संसार को जीन लिया है॥
1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But 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.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless 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.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit 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.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
17 Then 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?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire 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?
20 Verily, 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.
21 A 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.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
23 And 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.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These 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.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 Now 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.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 Behold, 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.
33 These 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.
1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
