The Advantage of Jesus' Departure

5

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

6

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

7

Nevertheless 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.

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

However 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.

14

He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.

15

All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.
