John 16:3

Coming Testimony And Rejection

² You'll be thrown out of the synagogues. Yes, a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he's serving God. ³ They'll do this because they haven't known the Father or me. ⁴ But I've told you this, so that when the time comes you'll remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you this in the beginning, because I was still with you."
