4I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,
5but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things.
7But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
9about sin, because people do not believe in me;
10about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
