John 16:1-6 ▼

1 I have told you all these things so that you will not fall away.

2 They will put you out of the synagogue, yet a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God.

3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.

4 But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. |I did not tell you these things 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 is asking me, 'Where are you going?'

6 Instead your hearts are filled with sadness because I have said these things to you.
