John 16:2

John 16:2

1 “These things I have spoken to you, that you ^ashould not be made to stumble.

2 ^aThey will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming ^bthat whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

3 And ^athese things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.

4 But these things I have told you, that when¹ the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

5 “But now I ^ago away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

<< John 16:1

John 16:3 >>

John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues. Excommunicate you. The first persecutions were Jewish. Whoever killeth you will think he doeth God a service. Even so Saul of Tarsus thought while persecuting the saints (Acts 22:3). Fanaticism has always held the slaughter of those who are deemed heretics to be praiseworthy.
