John 14:15-31 - Jesus Promises The Holy Spirit
15 If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 "And I will ask the Father and He will give you another Helper [i.e., besides me], who will be with you forever. 17 He is the Holy Spirit of truth [i.e., who reveals truth], whom the world cannot receive, for it does not see Him or know Him. [But] you know Him, for He lives with you, and will be within you. 18 I will not abandon you [Note: The Greek says, "leave you orphans"]; I will come [back] to you.
19 After a little while [longer] the world will not see me anymore, but you men will see me. Because I [will continue to] live, you will live also. 20 When that day comes [i.e., after His ascension ?], you will know that I am in [fellowship with] the Father, and that you are in [fellowship with] me, and that I am in you [i.e., through the Holy Spirit]. 21 The person who knows [what] my commandments [are] and obeys them is the one who [truly] loves me. And the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.
22 [Then] Judas (not the betrayer) [Note: This was the son of James, See Luke 6:16. He is also called Thaddaeus, See Matt. 10:3], said to Jesus, "Lord, what has happened [i.e., to your original plans to be seen by everyone when you came. See Luke 21:27], that you will reveal yourself to us apostles [only] and not to the [whole] world?"
23 Jesus answered him, "If a person loves me, he will obey my teaching, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and make our home with him [i.e., in the person of the indwelling Holy Spirit]. 24 The person who does not love me will not obey my teaching. And the message you are hearing is not mine, but belongs to the Father, who sent me.
25 "I have told you these things while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, that is, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name [i.e., by my authority] will teach you everything. And He will remind you of everything that I [have] said to you.
27 I leave you with peace; I give you my peace. I am not giving you peace like the world gives. Do not allow your hearts to be upset or afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, 'I am going away and I am returning to you.' If you [really] loved me, you would have been happy that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am. 29 Now I have told you this, even before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe [in me]. 30 I will not speak with you very much anymore because the ruler of the world [i.e., Satan] is coming, and he has no control over me. 31 But, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, I am [always] doing what the Father commands me to. Let us get up, and leave here." [i.e., leave the room where they had eaten the Passover meal. See 13:1 with 18:1].
