In Context

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;

3 and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.

4 But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said them unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?

6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.
