John 16:1-4

Jesus' Warning

1 "¹These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from ²stumbling.

2 "They will ³make you outcasts from the synagogue, but ⁴an hour is coming for everyone ⁵who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

3 "These things they will do ⁶because they have not known the Father or Me.

4 "But these things I have spoken to you, ⁷so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you ⁸at the beginning, because I was with you.
