Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
4 But I have told you these things so that when that hour comes, you may remember them, that I told you so.
I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was present with you. 5 But now I go my way to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, Where are you going? 6 But because I have said such things to you, your hearts are full of sorrow. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send him to you. 8 And when he is come, he will rebuke the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe on me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to my Father and you will see me no more; 11 and of judgment, because the chief ruler of this world is judged already.
