The conclusion of Christ's last discourse to his disciples.
1 These things have I spoken to you things have I spoken to you that you may not be scandalized.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth a service to God.
3 And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
5 But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go. For if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin and of justice and of judgment.
9 He will convince the world of sin, etc. . .The Holy Ghost, by his coming brought over many thousands, first, to a sense of their sin in not believing in Christ. Secondly, to a conviction of the justice of Christ, now sitting at the right hand of his Father. And thirdly, to a right apprehension of the judgment prepared for them that choose to follow Satan, who is already judged and condemned.
10 Of sin: because they believed not in me.
11 And of justice: because I go to the Father: and you shall see me no longer.
12 And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
13 I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
14 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
15 Will teach you all truth. . .See the annotation on chap. 14. ver. 26.
16 He shall glorify me: because he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you.
17 All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said that he shall receive of me and shew it to you.
