The Advantage of Jesus' Departure

5

But now I am going to the One who sent me. “Not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’

6

Instead, because I have said these things to you, you are overcome with grief.

7

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the comforting Counselor will not come to you. However, if I do go, I will send him to you.

8

“When he comes, he will show that the world is wrong about sin, about righteousness and about judgment —

9

about sin, in that people don’t put their trust in me;

10

about righteousness, in that I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;

11

about judgment, in that the ruler of this world has been judged.

12

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

13

However, when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own initiative but will say only what he hears. He will also announce to you the events of the future.

14

He will glorify me, because he will receive from what is mine and announce it to you.

15

Everything the Father has is mine; this is why I said that he receives from what is mine and will announce it to you.
