John 16

¹These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.

²They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;

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

⁴But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them] unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the] beginning, because I was with you.

⁵But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?

⁶But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.

⁸And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹of sin, because they do not believe on me;

¹⁰of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;

¹¹of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

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

¹³But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.
