If they
have kept my word, they will keep yours also. But they will do all
these things to you for my name's sake, because they do not know Him
who sent me.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would be innocent of sin.
But now they have no cloke to hide their sin. He who hates me hates my
Father also. If I had not done works which no other man has done, they
would not have sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my
Father.
This all comes to pass so that the word might be fulfilled that is
written in their law: They hated me without a cause. But when the
Comforter comes, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He
will testify about me. And you also will bear witness because you have
been with me from the beginning.
16. I am telling you these things so you are not offended. They
will put you out of the synagogues. The time will come when whoever
kills you will think that he does God a service. And they will do these
things to you because they have not known the Father nor me. I did not
tell you these things at the beginning because I was with you. But now
I am going away to the one who sent me. And none of you ask, Where are
you going? But because I have said these things sorrow has filled your
hearts.
But, I tell you the truth, it is best for you that I go away. If I do
not go the Comforter will not come to you.
