John 16:4-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them.“I did not tell you these things at the beginning, because I was with you.

5. But now I am going to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

6. Rather, sorrow has filled your heart because I have told you these things.

7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.

8. When He comes, He will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment:

9. of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10. of righteousness, because I am going to My Father, and you will see Me no more;

11. and of judgment, because the ruler of this world stands condemned.
