John 14:15-31 - Jesus Promises The Holy Spirit

¹⁵ if ye love me, keep my commandments. ¹⁶ and I will pray the father, and he shall give you another advocate, to abide with you for ever; ¹⁷ even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees nor knows him: but ye shall know him, for he shall dwell with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; I will come again to you.

¹⁹ yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more: but ye shall see me: because I shall live again, and ye shall live also. ²⁰ then shall you know, that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ he that hath received my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me, shall be beloved by my father, and I will love him, and shew my self unto him.

²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, why Lord, will you show your self to us, and not to the world?

²³ Jesus answered him, he that loves me, will observe my precepts: and my father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ he does not love me, who does not observe my precepts: for the doctrine which you have heard, is not mine, but the father's who sent me.

²⁵ this is what I have to tell you, for the little time that I am with you. ²⁶ but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

²⁷ I bid you farewell! I give you my last farewell; but I do not give it out of common formality: don't be concern'd for me, or apprehensive for your selves. ²⁸ ye have heard me say, "I am going away, and shall come again unto you." if ye loved me, ye would rejoice at my going to the father: for the father is greater than I. ²⁹ this I have told you now, before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may believe. my conversation will now be but short with you, ³⁰ for the prince of the world is coming: ³¹ not that he has any thing against me, but that the world may know that I love the father, by my executing the commands which my father gave me: arise, let us go hence.
