John 16:1-6 ▼

1 “I have told you this so that you may not fall away.

2 They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God.

3 They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.

4 I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you. “I did not tell you this from the beginning, because I was with you.

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

6 But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts.
