John 16:4-15 - The Work Of The Holy Spirit

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

⁵ But now I go to Him that sent me; and no one of you asks me, Whither goest thou? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But now I tell you the truth; it is profitable to you that I may go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I may go, I will send Him to you. ⁸ And having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment. ⁹ Concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe on me; and concerning righteousness; ¹⁰ because I go to the Father, and you see me no more; ¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

¹² I have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. ¹³ But when He, the Spirit of truth, may come, He will guide you in all truth: for He will not speak from Himself; but so many things as He hears, He will speak: and will proclaim to you the things which are coming. ¹⁴ He will glorify me: because He will receive from mine, and proclaim them unto you. ¹⁵ And all things whatsoever the Father has are mine: therefore I said, that He takes from mine, and will proclaim them to you.
