Jesus Warns and Comforts his Disciples

Verse 1 to 4 Jesus is talking to his disciples

1 “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And these things they will do to you[fn] because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when the[fn] time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. “And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
