²⁵ I am telling you these things now while I am still with you.

⁶ “I have revealed you^[a] to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. ⁷ Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you, ⁸ for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.

¹⁹ I tell you this beforehand, so that when it happens you will believe that I am the Messiah.^[a]

¹² “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now.

16 “I have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith. ² For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God. 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 my warning. I didn’t tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer.

¹¹ I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!

²⁹ I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.
