John 16:1-15

1These things have I spoken to you, that ye should not be offended.1 2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5But now I go to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Where goest thou? 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:2 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it to you. 15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he shall take of mine, and show it to you.
