John 16:5–15

⁵“Now I’m going to the one who sent me. Yet, none of you asks me where I’m going. ⁶But because I’ve told you this, you’re filled with sadness. ⁷However, I am telling you the truth: It’s good for you that I’m going away. If I don’t go away, the helper won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. ⁸He will come to convict the world of sin, to show the world what has God’s approval, and to convince the world that God judges it. ⁹He will convict the world of sin, because people don’t believe in me. ¹⁰He will show the world what has God’s approval, because I’m going to the Father and you won’t see me anymore. ¹¹He will convince the world that God judges it, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 

¹²“I have a lot more to tell you, but that would be too much for you now. ¹³When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won’t speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come. ¹⁴He will give me glory, because he will tell you what I say. ¹⁵Everything the Father says is also what I say. That is why I said, ‘He will take what I say and tell it to you.’
