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.
