Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 16
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.
¹² "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
¹³ But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
