16:1

"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.

16:2

They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

16:3

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

16:4

I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.

16:5

"Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

16:6

Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.

16:7

But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

16:8

When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

16:9

in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;

16:10

in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;

16:11

and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
