Jesus’ Warning

16 (G)These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from (H)stumbling. 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. These things they will do (L)because they did not know the Father or Me. 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.
