New Testament

John 16:3-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.

4. I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you. “I did not tell you this from the beginning, because I was with you.

5. But now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

6. But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts.

7. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

8. And when he comes he will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation:

9. sin, because they do not believe in me;

10. righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;

11. condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

12. “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
