John 16:1-7

1“I have told you all these things so that you will not fall away.

2They will put you out of the synagogue, yet a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God.

3They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.

4But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. “I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.

5But now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’

6Instead your hearts are filled with sadness because I have said these things to you.

7But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
