John 16:1-6

1“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 aThey will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, bthe hour is coming when cwhoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do these things dbecause they have not known the Father, nor me. 4But eI have said these things to you, that when ftheir hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, gbecause I was with you.
5But now hI am going to him who sent me, and inone of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6But because I have said these things to you, jsorrow has filled your heart.
