| 16:3 | And such thinges will they do vnto you, because they haue not knowen the father, nether yet me. |
| 16:4 | But these thinges haue I tolde you, that when the tyme is come, ye maye remember then that I tolde you. These thynges sayde I not vnto you at the begynninge, because I was present with you. |
| 16:5 | But now I go my waye to hym that sent me, & none of you asketh me whyther I go. |
| 16:6 | But because I haue sayd suche thynges vnto you, your hertes are ful of sorowe. |
| 16:7 | Neuertheles, I tel you the treuth, it is expedient for you, that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye, that comforter wyll not come vnto you. But yf I departe, I wyll sende hym vnto you. |
| 16:8 | And when he is come, he wyll rebuke the worlde of synne, and of rightewesnes, & of iudgement. |

| 16:14 | He shal glorify me, for he shall receaue of myne, & shall shewe vnto you. |
| 16:15 | All thynges that the father hath, are myne. Therfore sayde I vnto you, that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you. |

| 16:18 | They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth: after a whyle? we cannot tell what he sayth. |
| 16:19 | Iesus perceaued, that they wolde aske him, and sayde vnto them. Ye enquire of this betwene your selues, because I sayde after a whyle ye shal not se me, & agayne after a whyle ye shall se me. |
| 16:20 | Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamente, but contrary wyse, the world shall reioyse. Ye shall sorowe, but yor sorowe shalbe turned to ioye. |

| 16:22 | And ye now therfore haue sorowe: but I will se you agayne, and your hertes shall reioyse, and your ioye shal no man take from you. |
| 16:23 | And in the daye shall ye aske me no question. Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: whatsoeuer ye shall aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you. |
| 16:24 | Hytherto haue ye asked nothynge in my name. Aske, and ye shall receaue: that youre ioye maye be full. |
| 16:25 | These thinges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme will come, when I shal nomore speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely from my father. |
| 16:26 | At that daye shall ye aske in my name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you. |

| 16:32 | Behold, the houre draweth nye, and is all ready come, that ye shalbe scatered euery man to his awne, & shal leaue me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me. |
| 16:33 | These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myghte haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulacyon: but be of good chere, I haue ouercome the worlde. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
