1. Because it is expedient

16:1-7

1. It is expedient (16:7)

16:1 These things I have spoken to you that not ye be offended. 2 Put away from the synagogue they will make you: but comes an hour that everyone killing you thinks service to offer to God. 3 And these things they will do because they knew not the Father nor me. 4 But these things I have spoken to you that when comes the hour of them ye may remember them, that I told you. And these

things to you from the beginning I said not, because with you I was. 5 But now I am going to the one having sent me and not one of you askest me: Where goest thou? 6 but because these things I have spoken to you, grief has filled of you the heart. 7 But I the truth tell you it is expedient for you that I should go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter by no means comes to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
