1 “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

4 But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.”And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. <\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.”<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

This follows chapter 15 without a break in thought. The world hated the disciples. The Spirit would comfort them, but the hatred wouldn’t stop.This certainly wasn’t a prosperity gospel.<\/h3>\n

Persecution happens because people don’t know the Father or the Son (1 John 5:1).<\/h3>\n

stumble (v.1) \u2014 be ensnared. Forewarned is forearmed.<\/h3>\n

out of the synagogues (v.2) \u2014 To Jews, this mean excommunication, to be considered a heathen, but even more, they would be killed. Paul himself did this (Acts 8:1-4<\/span><\/a>; 26:9-10<\/span><\/a>; Philippians 3:6<\/span><\/a>). Then he was saved and suffered the same fate.<\/h3>\n

Christ’s words were also a prophecy (v.5), so when these things happened, the apostles would have assurance of Him.<\/h3>\n

none of you asks (v.5) \u2014 Instead of asking for more truth, they just grieved.<\/h3>\n

Christ was a “Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief,” and believers are “in the world as<\/u> He was in the world.”<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
