     05/18 - GospeL Verses 

1 - “Behold” (listen) “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 They will put you out of the meetings and groups. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think they are offering service to God! 3 And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But I’ve said these things to you, so when that hour comes you may remember my saying them to you.

     I didn’t say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I’m going to he who sent me, and none of you ask me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I’ve said these things, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 Yet, I tell you the truth, it’s to your advantage that I go away. Because if I don’t go away, the helper/sustainer will not come to you. {“You must be born again/from above”? The born again breath of Life.} Of which, if I go, I will send to you. 8 And when he” {the Shekinah?} comes, he will convince the world concerning sin [hamartia - missing the mark] and concerning righteousness and judgment. 9 Concerning sin, because they don’t believe in me, 10 concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer. 11 Concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

     12 I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When shall come he, the spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak of himself, but whatever to hear, he will speak, and things coming will declare to you. 14 He will honor and bestow glory upon me, and that which is mine, he will make known to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. That’s why I say he will reveal to you what is mine. 16 A little while now, and you will see me no longer. Then a little while, and you’ll see me again.”
