John 16:4-11

New International Version

⁴ I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember^(A) that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,^{(B) 5} but now I am going to him who sent me.^(C) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’^{(D) 6} Rather, you are filled with grief^(E) because I have said these things. ⁷ But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate^(F) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.^{(G) 8} When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹ about sin,^(H) because people do not believe in me; ¹⁰ about righteousness,^(I) because I am going to the Father,^(J) where you can see me no longer; ¹¹ and about judgment, because the prince of this world^(K) now stands condemned.
