John 16:7 - Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

John 16:7

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?’

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

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but ^aif I depart, I will send Him to you.

8 And when He has ^acome, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 ^aof sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10 ^aof righteousness, ^bbecause I go to My Father and you see Me no more;

11 ^aof judgment, because ^bthe ruler of this world is judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, ^abut you cannot bear them now.

13 However, when He, ^athe Spirit of truth, has come, ^bHe will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
