Jean 16:6

6 Mais, parce que je vous ai dit ces choses, la tristesse a rempli votre coeur.

Jean 16:6 Meaning and Commentary

John 16:6

5 Maintenant je m'en vais vers celui qui m'a envoyé, et aucun de vous ne me demande: Où vas-tu?

7 Cependant je vous dis la vérité: il vous est avantageux que je m'en aille, car si je ne m'en vais pas, le consolateur ne viendra pas vers vous; mais, si je m'en vais, je vous l'enverrai.

8 Et quand il sera venu, il convaincra le monde en ce qui concerne le péché, la justice, et le jugement:
