John 11:15; John 16:4; John 17:12

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

4 But 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 unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
