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.
