1 I am telling you these things, so that you will not turn away.
2 You will be chased out of the synagogues. And the time will come when people will kill you and think they are doing God a favor.
3 They will do these things because they don't know either the Father or me.
4 I am saying this to you now, so that when the time comes, you will remember what I have said.I was with you at the first, and so I didn't tell you these things.
5 But now I am going back to the Father who sent me, and none of you asks me where I am going.
6 You are very sad from hearing all of this.
7 But I tell you I am going to do what is best for you. This is why I am going away. The Holy Spirit cannot come to help you until I leave. But after I am gone, I will send the Spirit to you.
