1 “I have told you these things to keep you from giving up.
2 People will put you out of their synagogues. Yes, the time is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering service to God.
3 They will do this because they have not known the Father and they have not known me.
4 I have told you these things now. So when the time comes, you will remember that I warned you.“I did not tell you these things at the beginning, because I was with you then.
5 Now I am going back to the One who sent me. But none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Your hearts are filled with sadness because I have told you these things.
