Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 15
²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.
²⁵ But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ’They hated Me without a cause.’
²⁶ "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
²⁷ And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
John 16
¹ "These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.
² They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.
³ And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.
⁴ But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
⁵ "But now I go away 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 Nevertheless 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 depart, I will send Him to you.
