JOHN 16:10

JOHN 16:11
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
JOHN 16:12

JOHN 16:23
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

JOHN 16:32
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.

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
