John 16:2-4

Living Bible

² For you will be excommunicated from the synagogues, and indeed the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing God a service. ³ This is because they have never known the Father or me. ⁴ Yes, I’m telling you these things now so that when they happen you will remember I warned you. I didn’t tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer.
