John 16

Jesus prepares his disciples for persecution and his departure, explaining that his leaving is advantageous because it allows the Holy Spirit (the Advocate/Helper) to come and convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.[1][3] Jesus teaches that their sorrow at his crucifixion will be transformed into joy at his resurrection, and that through the Holy Spirit they will have direct access to the Father in prayer.[1][3]
