Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
and ye also shall bear witness.”(9) And elsewhere He saith: “But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.” (10) And: “But now I go my way to him
that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I

tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go

most certainly be able to do so by virtue of that which God hath bestowed
upon Me of the wonders of His knowledge and power. I have, however,
contented Myself with that which was mentioned, lest thou become wearied
in thy journey or feel inclined to turn back, or lest thou be overtaken by
sadness and sorrow and overcome with despondency, trouble and fatigue.
