3 “These things they will do abecause they have not known the Father or Me.

4 “But these things I have spoken to you, aso that when their hour comes, you 1may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you bat the beginning, because I was with you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

5 “But now aI am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘bWhere are You going?’

6 “But because I have said these things to you, asorrow has filled your heart.

7 “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the 1aHelper will not come to you; but if I go, bI will send Him to you.

8 “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

9 concerning sin, abecause they do not believe in Me;

10 and concerning arighteousness, because bI go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

11 aand concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
