John 16:5-7

International Standard Version

The Work of the Spirit

⁵ “But now I am going to the one who sent me. Yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ⁶ But because I have told you this, sorrow has filled your hearts. ⁷ However, I’m telling you the truth. It’s for your advantage that I’m going away, because if I don’t go away, the Helper won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
