• "These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling. They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. (John 16:1-4 NASB)
