1. “I have said these things to you so that you will not fall away.
2. They will expel you from the synagogue, but an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think they are offering service to God.
3. And they will do these things because they do not know the Father or me.
4. But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. “And I have not said these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
5. But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and none of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
6. But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
7. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:
9. concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,
10. and concerning righteousness, because I am going away to the Father and you will see me no more,
11. and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12. I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to 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 from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come.
14. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.
15. Everything that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he takes from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.
16. “A little while and you will see me no more, 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 is saying 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 away to the Father’?”
18. So they kept on saying, “What is this that he is saying, ‘A little while’? We do not understand what he is speaking about!”
19. Jesus knew that they were wanting to ask him, and he said to them, “Are you deliberating with one another about this—that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’?
