In context
1 These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:
2 Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!
3 And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.
4 But, these things, have I told you,—That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you;
5 But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?
