Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 16
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.
⁸ And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
⁹ of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
¹¹ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
¹² I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
