Jhn 16:4

Jhn 16:10

Jhn 16:10and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;

Jhn 16:12

Jhn 16:13

Jhn 16:13and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;
