John 16:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 But now I am going back to the Father who sent me, and none of you asks me where I am going. 6 You are very sad from hearing all of this. 7 But I tell you I am going to do what is best for you. This is why I am going away. The Holy Spirit cannot come to help[a] you until I leave. But after I am gone, I will send the Spirit to you.

John 16:5-7
New International Version
5 but now I am going to him who sent me.(A) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(B) 6 Rather, you are filled with grief(C) because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(D) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(E)
