John 16:3-13

3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come , ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou ?

6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away : for if I go not away , the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart , I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come , he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin *, because they believe not on me;

10 Of * righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of * judgment, because the prince of this world is judged .

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot * bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come , he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear , that shall he speak : and he will shew you things to come .
