Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.
- A 5-6 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
- B 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.
- A 8-9 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;
- B 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
- A' 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
- A 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
- B 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.
- C 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
- B' 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
- B 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.
