John 16

¹These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble.

²They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God.

³And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

⁴But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.

⁵But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

⁶But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁷Nevertheless 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 go, I will send him unto you.

⁸And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;

¹¹of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

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

¹³Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
