John 15:26-16:4
New American Standard Bible
26 “When the [a](A)Helper comes, (B)whom I will send to you from the Father, namely, (C)the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, (D)He will testify about Me, 27 and [b](E)you are testifying as well, because you have been with Me (F)from the beginning.
Jesus’ Warning
16 “(G)These things I have spoken to you so that you will not [c]be (H)led into sin. 2 They will [d](I)ban you from the synagogue, yet (J)an hour is coming for everyone (K)who kills you to think that he is offering a [e]service to God. 3 These things they will do (L)because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have spoken to you, (M)so that when their hour comes, you [f]may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you (N)at the beginning, because I was with you.

Jesus Warns and Comforts His Disciples
16 “These things I have spoken to you, that you (E)should not be made to stumble. 2 (F)They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming (G)that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And (H)these things they will do [b]to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when [c]the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.
