TUESDAY OF THE SIXTH OF EASTER -- John 16:5-11 -- «I WILL SEND THE COUNSELOR TO YOU»

 GOSPEL READING:   John 16:5-11

5 But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, `Where are you going?' 

6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 

8 And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 

9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 

10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; 

11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
