John 16:5-11

The Voice

⁵ But now, I am going to the One who has sent Me, and none of you ask Me, “Where are You going?”

⁶ I know that hearing news like this is overwhelming and sad. ⁷ But the truth is that My departure will be a gift that will serve you well, because if I don’t leave, the great Helper will not come to your aid. When I leave, I will send Him to you. ^8-9 When He arrives, He will uncover the sins of the world, expose unbelief as sin, and allow all to see their sins in the light of righteousness for the first time. ¹⁰ This new awareness of righteousness is important because I am going to the Father and will no longer be present with you. ¹¹ The Spirit will also carry My judgment because the one who rules in this world has already been defeated.
