you, one of you will betray me.”

with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews,
so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot
come.’

John 16:2-4 (ESV) 2 They will put you out of the syna-

you will think he is offering service to God. 3 And they
will do these things because they have not known the
Father, nor me. 4 But I have said these things to you,
that when their hour comes you may remember that I
told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from
the beginning, because I was with you.
John 16:32 (ESV) Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it
has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own
home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the
Father is with me.
John 16:4-6 (ESV) 4 But I have said these things to you,
that when their hour comes you may remember that I
told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from
the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I am go-
ing to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where
are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to
you, sorrow has filled your heart… Truly, truly, I say to you,
you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You
will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. John
