📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, Jesus is speaking to his disciples during the Last Supper, just before his arrest and crucifixion, as he prepares them for his departure and the arrival of the Holy Spirit. He explains that the Holy Spirit will convict the world of sin, particularly because people reject faith in him as the Messiah. This occurs in a first-century Jewish context under Roman rule, where Jesus' claims were met with opposition from religious leaders.
