Introduction:
1 “ These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.
2 They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.
3 These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you
(John 16:1-4 NASB)
