3. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.
4. I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you. “I did not tell you this from the beginning, because I was with you.

6. But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts.
7. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, 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 in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation:
9. sin, because they do not believe in me;
10. righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;
11. condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12. “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
13. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming.
14. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
15. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
