1 I HAVE spoken these things to you, so that you may not stumble. 2 For they will put you out of their synagogues; and the hour will come that whoever kills you, will think that he has offered an offering to God. 3 And these things they will do, because they have not known my Father, nor me. 4 I have spoken these things to you, that when their time does come, you may remember them, and that I told you. And these things I did not tell you before, because I was with you. 5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and yet no one of you asks me, Where are you going? 6 But because I told you these things, sorrow has come and filled your hearts. 7 But I tell you the truth, It is better for you that I should go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I should go, I will send him to you.
