John 16:1-15

1“1These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from 2stumbling. 2 3They will 4make you outcasts from the synagogue, but 5an hour is coming for everyone 6who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. 3These things they will do 7because they have not known the Father or Me. 4But these things I have spoken to you, 8so that when their hour comes, you 9may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you 10at the beginning, because I was with you.

5“But now 11I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘12Where are You going?’ 6But because I have said these things to you, 13sorrow has filled your heart. 7But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the 14 15Helper will not come to you; but if I go, 16I will send Him to you. 8And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9concerning sin, 17because they do not believe in Me; 10and concerning 18righteousness, because 19I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 20and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12“I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13But when He, 21the Spirit of truth, comes, He will 22guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14He will 23glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 24All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
