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.

Aber ich sage euch die Wahrheit: es ist euch gut, daß ich hingehe. Denn so ich nicht hingehe, so kommt der Tröster nicht zu euch; so ich aber gehe, will ich ihn zu euch senden.
Empero yo os digo la verdad: Os es necesario que yo vaya: porque si yo no fuese, el Consolador no vendría a vosotros; mas si yo fuere, os le enviaré.
Cependant je vous dis la vérité: il vous est avantageux que je m'en aille, car si je ne m'en vais pas, le consolateur ne viendra pas vers vous; mais, si je m'en vais, je vous l'enverrai.
Ma pure io vi dico la verità: Egli v’è utile ch’io me ne vada, perciocchè, se io non me ne vo, il Consolatore non verrà a voi; ma se io me ne vo, io ve lo manderò.
Todavia digo-vos a verdade, que vos convém que eu vá; porque, se eu não for, o Consolador não virá a vós; mas, quando eu for, vo-lo enviarei.
然而,我把真情告訴你們,我去對你們是有益的。我若不去,保惠師就不會到你們這裏來;我若去,就差他到你們這裏來。
