John 16:1-7

1 These things I have spoken unto you that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues, and the hour will even come when whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
3 And they will do these things unto you because they do not know the Father, nor me.
4 But I have told you these things that when that hour shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things unto you at the beginning because I was with you.
5 But now I go unto him that sent me, and none of you asks me, Where goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
