5But now I goe my way to him that sent mee, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6But because I haue saide these things vnto you, sorow hath filled your heart. 7Neuerthelesse; I tell you the trueth, it is expedient for you that I goe away: for if I goe not away, the Comforter will not come vnto you: but if I depart, I will send him vnto you. 8And when he is come, he will reproue the world of sinne, and of righteousnesse, and of iudgement. 9Of sinne, because they beleeue not on me.
