John 14:12-22

12 I assure you that whoever believes in me will do the works that I do. They will do even greater works than these because I am going to the Father.
13 I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father can be glorified in the Son.
14 When you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.

I won’t leave you as orphans

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever.
17 This Companion is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can't receive because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be with you.
18 " I won't leave you as orphans. I will come to you.
19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you.
21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them."
22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot) asked, "Lord, why are you about to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"
