Even the Lord Himself said that the Spirit would not descend on any other condition, but that He should first ascend to the Father.[103]

John 16:7 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

who also, as Luke says, descended at the day of Pentecost upon the disciples after the Lord's ascension, having power to admit all nations to the entrance of life, and to the opening of the new covenant; from whence also, with one accord in all languages, they uttered praise to God, the Spirit bringing distant tribes to unity, and offering to the Father the first-fruits of all nations. Wherefore also the Lord promised to send the Comforter,[312]

John 16:7 - NIV, NAB - in Fragments of Clement from the Latin Translation of Cassiodorus

so the prince of this world, in regard to whom the Saviour says, "Now has the prince of this world been judged,"[124]

John 16:11 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XII

through which, when Christ was crucified, the principalities-among which, I think, was also the prince of this world-were made a show of and triumphed over before the believing world. Wherefore, when His suffering was at hand he said, "Now the prince of this world has been judged,"[130]

John 16:12 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics

John 16:12 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book I

and again in the Gospel, when the Saviour, speaking of the divine and profounder parts of His teaching, which His disciples were not yet able to receive, thus addresses them: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now; but when the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, is come, He will teach you all things, and will bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."[72]

John 16:12 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book II

Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all the truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak."[7]

John 16:14 - NIV, NAB - in A Treatise of Novatian Concerning the Trinity

If Christ was only man, how does He say that the Paraclete "shall take of His, those things which He shall declare? "[117]

John 16:14 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

For which of us could have hoped that Paul, the persecutor and enemy of the Church, would prove its defender and guardian? Yea, and not that alone, but that he would become also its ruler, the founder and architect of the churches? Wherefore after him, and after those who were with Himself-that is, the disciples-we are not to look for the advent of any other (such), according to the Scriptures; for our Lord Jesus Christ says of this Paraclete, "He shall receive of mine."[329]

For the Holy Spirit Himself receives instruction, as is clear from what is said about the Paraclete and the Holy Spirit,[52]

"All things," says He, "which the Father hath are mine."[216]

You have your own registers, your own calendar; you have nothing to do with the joys of the world; nay, you are called to the very opposite, for "the world shall rejoice, but ye shall mourn."[55]

John 16:20 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise VII On the Mortality

So many persecutions the soul suffers daily, with so many risks is the heart wearied, and yet it delights to abide here long among the devil's weapons, although it should rather be our craving and wish to hasten to Christ by the aid of a quicker death; as He Himself instructs us, and says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy."[11]

John 16:20 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XI Exhortation to Martyrdom Addressed to Fortunatus

But to laugh, as concerns the resurrection: "For your sorrow," He says, "shall be turned into joy."[34]

John 16:22 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise VII On the Mortality

Who would not desire to be without sadness? who would not hasten to attain to joy? But when our sadness shall be turned into joy, the Lord Himself again declares, when He says, "I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you."[12]

John 16:22 - NIV, NAB - in Pseudo-Gregory Thaumaturgus First Homily

But our Lord Jesus Christ promises perpetual gladness to all those who believe on Him. For He says, "I will see you, and ye shall rejoice; and your joy no man taketh from you."[7]

John 16:23 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise IV On the Lord's Prayer

And since we have Him as an Advocate with the Father for our sins, let us, when as sinners we petition on behalf of our sins, put forward the words of our Advocate. For since He says, that "whatsoever we shall ask of the Father in His name, He will give us,"[6]

John 16:24 - NIV, NAB - in Passion of the Holy Martyrs Perpetua and Felicitas

John 16:28 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Praxeas

"[331]

John 16:28 - NIV, NAB - in Hippolytus Dogmatical and Historical Fragments

But let us also look at the subject in hand,-namely, the question, brethren, that in reality the Father's power, which is the Word, came down from heaven, and not the Father Himself. For thus He speaks: "I came forth from the Father, and am come."[274]

John 16:28 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise VII On the Mortality

How great is the advantage of going out of the world, Christ Himself, the Teacher of our salvation and of our good works, shows to us, who, when His disciples were saddened that He said that He was soon to depart, spoke to them, and said, "If ye loved me, ye would surely rejoice because I go to the Father; "[14]

the whole simultaneous assault of these opposing powers, unless indeed the might of Him alone were to work in him, who said, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."[305]

John 16:33 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VI

as also in this, "In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."[303]

John 16:33 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VIII

the meaning of these words, When God gives to the tempter permission to persecute us, then we suffer persecution; and when God wishes us to be free from suffering, even in the midst of a world that hates us, we enjoy a wonderful peace, trusting in the protection of Him who said, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."[131]

John 16:33 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise VII On the Mortality

Thus Job, after the loss of his wealth, after the death of his children, grievously afflicted, moreover, with sores and worms, was not overcome, but proved; since in his very struggles and anguish, showing forth the patience of a religious mind, he says, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, naked also I shall go under the earth: the Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away; as it seemed fit to the Lord, so it hath been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord."[20]

And besides, also, one only Catholic and Apostolic Church, which can never be destroyed, though all the world should seek to make war with it; but it is victorious over every most impious revolt of the heretics who rise up against it.
