Orthodox Jewish Bible

Yochanan 16:1-4 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. I have spoken these things to you that no cause of michshol (stumbling, falling) may trip you up.

2. They will put you under the cherem ban in the shuls. A sha'ah (hour, time) is coming when everyone who kills you will suppose they are offering avodas kodesh to Hashem. [YESHAYAH 66:5]

3. And these things they will do because they did not have da'as of HaAv or of me.

4. But these things I have spoken to you, that, when the sha'ah of these things comes, you might have zikaron (remembrance) of these things, that I told you. But I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
