[Jesus continued,] "I have said these things to you so that you won't lose your faith.
2
You will be thrown out of synagogues. Certainly, the time is coming when people who murder you will think that they are serving God.
3
They will do these things to you because they haven't known the Father or me.
4
But I've told you this so that when it happens you'll remember what I've told you. I didn't tell you this at first, because I was with you.
5
"Now I'm going to the one who sent me. Yet, none of you asks me where I'm going.
6
But because I've told you this, you're filled with sadness.
7
However, I am telling you the truth: It's good for you that I'm going away. If I don't go away, the helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
