John 16:3-5

Living Bible

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.

⁵ “But now I am going away to the one who sent me; and none of you seems interested in the purpose of my going; none wonders why.^[a]
