John 16

¹I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.

²They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

³They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.

⁴I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

⁵But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

⁶But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.

⁷But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

⁹Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

¹⁰Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

¹¹Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹²I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

¹³However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.
