John 16:3 - Forerunner Commentary

John 16:3

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.

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

6 But because I have said these things to you, ^asorrow has filled your heart.
