John 16:4-15

English Standard Version

⁴But ^(A)I have said these things to you, that when ^(B)their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, ^(C)because I was with you. ⁵But now ^(D)I am going to him who sent me, and ^(E)none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ⁶But because I have said these things to you, ^(F)sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for ^(G)if I do not go away, ^(H)the Helper will not come to you. But ^(I)if ^(J)I go, ^(K)I will send him to you. ⁸^(L)And when he comes, he will ^(M)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹concerning sin, ^(N)because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰^(O)concerning righteousness, ^(P)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; ¹¹^(Q)concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world ^(R)is judged.

¹²“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³When ^(S)the Spirit of truth comes, ^(T)he will ^(U)guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but ^(V)whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. ¹⁴He will ^(W)glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. ¹⁵^(X)All that the Father has is mine; ^(Y)therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
