John 16:1-7

1“These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.

2They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

3And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.

4But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5“But now I go away 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 depart, I will send Him to you.
