King James Bible 1611
| 16:1 | These things haue I spoken vnto you, that yee should not be offended. |
| 16:2 | They shall put you out of the Synagogues: yea, the time commeth, that whosoeuer killeth you, will thinke that hee doeth God seruice. |
| 16:3 | And these things will they doe vnto you, because they haue not knowen the Father, nor me. |
| 16:4 | But these things haue I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not vnto you at the beginning, because I was with you. |
| 16:5 | But now I goe my way to him that sent mee, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? |
| 16:6 | But because I haue saide these things vnto you, sorow hath filled your heart. |
| 16:7 | Neuerthelesse; I tell you the trueth, it is expedient for you that I goe away: for if I goe not away, the Comforter will not come vnto you: but if I depart, I will send him vnto you. |
| 16:8 | And when he is come, he will reproue the world of sinne, and of righteousnesse, and of iudgement. |
| 16:9 | Of sinne, because they beleeue not on me. |
| 16:10 | Of righteousnesse, because I goe to my Father, and ye see me no more. |
| 16:11 | Of iudgement, because the prince of this world is iudged. |
| 16:12 | I haue yet many things to say vnto you, but ye cannot beare them now: |
| 16:13 | Howbeit, when hee the spirit of trueth is come, he wil guide you into all trueth: For he shall not speake of himselfe: but whatsoeuer he shall heare, that shall he speake, and he will shew you things to come. |
| 16:14 | He shall glorifie me, for he shall receiue of mine, and shall shew it vnto you. |
| 16:15 | All things that the Father hath, are mine: therefore said I that he shall take of mine, and shal shew it vnto you. |
| 16:16 | A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe a litle while, & ye shall see me: because I goe to the Father. |
| 16:17 | Then saide some of his disciples among themselues, What is this that he saith vnto vs, A litle while, and ye shal not see me: and againe, a litle while, and ye shall see me: and, because I goe to the Father? |
| 16:18 | They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A litle while? we cannot tell what he saith. |
| 16:19 | Now Iesus knew that they were desirous to aske him, & said vnto them, Doe ye enquire among your selues of that I saide, A litle while, and ye shall not see mee: and againe; A little while and ye shall see me? |
| 16:20 | Uerily, verily I say vnto you, that ye shall weepe and lament, but the world shall reioyce: And ye shall be sorrowfull, but your sorrow shall be turned into ioy. |
| 16:21 | A woman, when she is in trauaile, hath sorrow, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the child, she remembreth no more the anguish, for ioy that a man is borne into the world. |
| 16:22 | And ye now therefore haue sorrow: but I will see you againe, and your heart shall reioyce, and your ioy no man taketh from you. |
| 16:23 | And in that day ye shall aske me nothing: Uerily, verily I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer yee shall aske the Father in my Name, he will giue it you. |
| 16:24 | Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioy may be full. |
| 16:25 | These things haue I spoken vnto you in prouerbs: the time commeth when I shall no more speake vnto you in prouerbes, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. |
| 16:26 | At that day ye shall aske in my Name: and I say not vnto you that I will pray the Father for you: |
| 16:27 | For the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me and haue beleeued that I came out from God. |
| 16:28 | I came foorth from the Father, and am come into the world: againe, I leaue the world, and goe to the Father. |
| 16:29 | His disciples said vnto him, Loe, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no prouerbe. |
| 16:30 | Now are we sure that thou knowest al things, and needest not that any man should aske thee: By this we beleeue that thou camest foorth from God. |
| 16:31 | Iesus answered them, Doe yee now beleeue? |
| 16:32 | Behold, the houre commeth, yea is now come, that ye shall be scattered, euery man to his owne, and shall leaue me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. |
| 16:33 | These things I haue spoken vnto you, that in me ye might haue peace, in the world ye shall haue tribulation: but be of good cheare, I haue ouercome the world. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
