John 16:2-4

New Matthew Bible

² They will excommunicate you; yea, the time shall come that whoever kills you will think that he does God service. ³ And such things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor me. ⁴ But I have told you these things so that when that hour comes, you may remember them, that I told you so. 

I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was present with you.
