John 16:5-13
New International Version
5 but now I am going to him who sent me.(A) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(B) 6 Rather, you are filled with grief(C) because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(D) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(E) 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin,(F) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(G) because I am going to the Father,(H) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(I) now stands condemned.
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.(J) 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth,(K) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.(L) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
John 16:5-13
English Standard Version
5 But now (A)I am going to him who sent me, and (B)none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, (C)sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for (D)if I do not go away, (E)the Helper will not come to you. But (F)if (G)I go, (H)I will send him to you. 8 (I)And when he comes, he will (J)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, (K)because they do not believe in me; 10 (L)concerning righteousness, (M)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 (N)concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (O)is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When (P)the Spirit of truth comes, (Q)he will (R)guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but (S)whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

John 16:5-13
King James Version
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.

Das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes
5 Nun aber gehe ich hin zu dem, der mich gesandt hat, und niemand unter euch fragt mich: Wohin gehst du? 6 Sondern weil ich euch solches gesagt habe, ist euer Herz voll Trauer. 7 Aber ich sage euch die Wahrheit: Es ist gut für euch, daß ich hingehe; denn wenn ich nicht hingehe, so kommt der Beistand nicht zu euch. Wenn ich aber hingegangen bin, will ich ihn zu euch senden. 8 Und wenn jener kommt, wird er die Welt überzeugen von Sünde und von Gerechtigkeit und von Gericht; 9 von Sünde, weil sie nicht an mich glauben; 10 von Gerechtigkeit aber, weil ich zum Vater gehe und ihr mich hinfort nicht mehr sehet; 11 von Gericht, weil der Fürst dieser Welt gerichtet ist.
12 Noch vieles hätte ich euch zu sagen; aber ihr könnt es jetzt nicht ertragen. 13 Wenn aber jener kommt, der Geist der Wahrheit, wird er euch in die ganze Wahrheit leiten; denn er wird nicht von sich selbst reden, sondern was er hören wird, das wird er reden, und was zukünftig ist, wird er euch verkündigen.
