"These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.
2
They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.
3
And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.
4
But 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?'
6
But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7
Nevertheless 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.
8
And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9
of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10
of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
11
of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12
I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
14
He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
15
All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
16
"A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father."
17
Then some of His disciples said among themselves, "What is this that He says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?"
18
They said therefore, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is saying."
19
Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, "Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'?
