Jesus Promises to Send the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, [fn]keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to [fn]abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he abides with you and [fn]will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming back to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that yoʋ are about to manifest yoʋrself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

25 “I have said these things to you while abiding with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of everything I have told you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that [fn]I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ because [fn]my Father is greater than I am. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe. 30 I will not talk with you much longer, for the ruler of [fn]the world is coming, but he has no power over me. 31 Rather, I do just as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
