John 16:1

John 16:1. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

"That you should not be scandalized when you see me put to death, and when you miss my bodily presence from your midst. I want to prepare you for the shame and death that lie before me, and also to prepare you for all that lies before you, for many of you will have to drink of my cup, and to be baptized with my baptism. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended," or ashamed, or scandalized, or caused to stumble, when they come to pass."
