John 15:26-16:4
English Standard Version
26 “But (A)when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, (B)he will bear witness about me. 27 And (C)you also will bear witness, (D)because you have been with me (E)from the beginning.
16 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 (F)They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, (G)the hour is coming when (H)whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3 And they will do these things (I)because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But (J)I have said these things to you, that when (K)their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

John 15:26-16:4
International Standard Version
26 “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father— the Spirit of Truth, who comes from the Father—he will testify on my behalf. 27 You will testify also, because you have been with me from the beginning.
16 “I have told you this to keep you from falling away.[a] 2 You’ll be thrown out of the synagogues. Yes, a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he’s serving God. 3 They’ll do this because they haven’t known the Father or me. 4 But I’ve told you this, so that when the time comes you’ll remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you this in the beginning, because I was still with you.”
