John 16:3 Context
1These things haue I spoken vnto you, that yee should not be offended. 2They shall put you out of the Synagogues: yea, the time commeth, that whosoeuer killeth you, will thinke that hee doeth God seruice. 3And these things will they doe vnto you, because they haue not knowen the Father, nor me. 4But these things haue I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not vnto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5But now I goe my way to him that sent mee, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
