10. concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;

11. concerning 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.

13. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

14. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

15. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

16. “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.”

17. So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”
