²⁶ I will send you the Spirit who comes from the Father and shows what is true. The Spirit will help^[a] you and will tell you about me. ²⁷ Then you will also tell others about me, because you have been with me from the beginning.

16 I am telling you these things, so that you will not turn away. ² You will be chased out of the synagogues. And the time will come when people will kill you and think they are doing God a favor. ³ They will do these things because they don't know either the Father or me. ⁴ I am saying this to you now, so that when the time comes, you will remember what I have said.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

I was with you at the first, and so I didn't tell you these things.
