John 16:1-6

MSG

NIV

1 "I've told you these things to prepare you for rough times ahead.
1 “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away.
2 They are going to throw you out of the meeting places. There will even come a time when anyone who kills you will think he's doing God a favor.
2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.
3 They will do these things because they never really understood the Father.
3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
4 I've told you these things so that when the time comes and they start in on you, you'll be well-warned and ready for them.
4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,
5 But now I am on my way to the One who sent me. Not one of you has asked, 'Where are you going?'
5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Instead, the longer I've talked, the sadder you've become.
6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things.
