John 16:1-7

1"I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.

2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

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

4But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

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

7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
