Gospel according to John

But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

He who hates me, hates my Father also.

If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

"When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

"These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble.

They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

about sin, because they don't believe in me;

about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won't see me any more;

about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

"I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.

However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
