John 16:5-11

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.

8And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong concerning sin and righteousness and judgment –

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

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

11and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
