John 14:11-21

11 Believe me that 1I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else 2believe on account of the works themselves.
12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, 3whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I 4am going to the Father.
13 5Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that 6the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 7If you ask me[a] anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 8"If you love me, you will 9keep my commandments.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another 10Helper,[b] to be with you forever,
17 even 11the Spirit of truth, 12whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and 13will be in you.
18 "I will not leave you as orphans; 14I will come to you.
19 15Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but 16you will see me. 17Because I live, you also will live.
20 18In that day you will know that 19I am in my Father, and 20you in me, and 21I in you.
21 22Whoever has my commandments and 23keeps them, he it is who loves me. And 24he who loves me 25will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and 26manifest myself to him."
