Jn 16:1-33

• the benefit to his followers in Jesus' departure (v7):
  
• Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you
• if I go, I will send him to you
• when he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment
• He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come
• I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world
