John 16:1-4

1“I have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith.

2For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.

3This is because they have never known the Father or me.

4Yes, I’m telling you these things now, so that when they happen, you will remember my warning. I didn’t tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer.
