John 14:12-22

Praying in Jesus' Name

12 "I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask Me [a] anything in My name, I will do it. [b]

Another Counselor Promised

15 "If you love Me, you will keep [c] My commandments. [d]
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.
17 He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn't see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be [e] in you.
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

19 "In a little while the world will see Me no longer, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live too.
20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you.
21 The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him."
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it You're going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?"
