New American Standard Bible (NASB)
John 16
1 "These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.
2 They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.
3 These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 "But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ’Where are You going?’
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;
9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
