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

16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Beginning in John chapter 13 Jesus has been speaking to the twelve disciples during the Passover meal.

All the promises were delivered not to the church today, the body of Christ, but rather to the twelve disciples.

Promised to the twelve :

1) Many mansions John 14:2

2) Greater works John 14:12

3) Anything asked in the name of Jesus will be done John 14:14

4) The Spirit of truth John 14:17

5) To abide in Christ John 15:4

6) If abiding in Christ and his word abides in them they may ask what they will and it will be done John 15:7

Jesus spoke of them being put out of the synagogues which further makes it dubious that the church, the body of Christ was in view here.
