John 16:9

Verse 9 of 33. The 16th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

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;

11about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

12“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

13However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
