Jesus’ Warning
16 “(G)These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from (H)stumbling. 2 They will (I)put you out of the synagogue, but (J)an hour is coming for everyone (K)who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. 3 These things they will do (L)because they did not know the Father or Me. 4 But these things I have spoken to you, (M)so that when their hour comes, you [c]may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you (N)at the beginning, because I was with you.

Common English Bible
26 “When the Companion[a] comes, whom I will send from the Father—the Spirit of Truth who proceeds from the Father—he will testify about me. 27 You will testify too, because you have been with me from the beginning. 16 1 I have said these things to you so that you won’t fall away. 2 They will expel you from the synagogue. The time is coming when those who kill you will think that they are doing a service to God. 3 They will do these things because they don’t know the Father or me. 4 But I have said these things to you so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them.
I go away
“I didn’t say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
