John 16:1-15

1“1These things I have spoken to you so that you will not 2be 3led into sin. 2They will 4 5ban you from the synagogue, yet 6an hour is coming for everyone 7who kills you to think that he is offering a 8service to God. 3These things they will do 9because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4But these things I have spoken to you, 10so that when their hour comes, you 11may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you 12at the beginning, because I was with you.

5“But now 13I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘14Where are You going?’ 6But because I have said these things to you, 15grief has filled your heart. 7But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the 16 17Helper will not come to you; but if I go, 18I will send Him to you. 8And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: 9regarding sin, 19because they do not believe in Me; 10and regarding 20righteousness, because 21I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; 11 22and regarding 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 at the present time. 13But when He, 23the Spirit of truth, comes, He will 24guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14He will 25glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 26All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.
