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

4But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

5But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

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

7Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

8When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

9about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

10about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
