John 15:26-16:4
Legacy Standard Bible
26 “When the [a](A)Advocate comes, (B)whom I will send to you from the Father, (C)the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, (D)He will bear witness about Me, 27 [b]and (E)you will bear witness also, because you have been with Me (F)from the beginning.
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.

New Living Translation
26 “But I will send you the Advocate[a]—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me. 27 And you must also testify about me because you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry.
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.
