The Promise of the Holy Spirit

(John 14:15–26)

Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me,‘Where are You going?’ 6 Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things. 7 But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate[fn] vvv vvv will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

8 

And [when] He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin because vvv they do not believe in Me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

12 

vvv I still have much to tell you, but vvv you cannot yet bear [to hear it]. 13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For vvv He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what [is] Mine and disclosing [it] to you. 15 Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that [the Spirit] will take from what [is] Mine and disclose [it] to you.

16 

In a little [while] you will see Me no more, and then after a little [while] you will see Me.[fn]”
