1
I have said these things to you so that you won't fall away.
2
They will expel you from the synagogue. The time is coming when those who kill you will think that they are doing a service to God.
3
They will do these things because they don't know the Father or me.

But I have said these things to you so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them.
I go away
5“I didn't say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I go away to the one who sent me. None of you ask me, ‘Where are you going?'
6
Yet because I have said these things to you, you are filled with sorrow.
7
I assure you that it is better for you that I go away. If I don't go away, the CompanionOr Advocate won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
