John 16:5-11

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.

8And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

9concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

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

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