John 16:3-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.

5. But now I am going 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.

7. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

8. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

9. concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

10. concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;

11. concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

12. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
