John 16:7

Jesus' Departure And The Coming Of The Holy Spirit

⁶ But because I have said such things unto you, your hearts are full of sorrow. ⁷ "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away, that comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will send him unto you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will rebuke the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
