John 14:15-30

15 "¹If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Role of the Spirit

16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ²Helper, that He may be with you forever;

17 that is ³the Spirit of truth, ⁴whom the world cannot * receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

18 "I will not leave you as orphans; ⁵I will come to you.

19 "⁶After a little while ⁷the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; ⁸because I live, you will live also.

20 "⁹In that day you will know that ¹⁰I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

21 "¹¹He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ¹²he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ¹³disclose Myself to him."

22 ¹⁴Judas (not Iscariot ) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened ¹⁵that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"

23 Jesus answered and said to him, "¹⁶If anyone loves Me, he will ¹⁷keep My word; and ¹⁸My Father will love him, and We ¹⁹will come to him and make Our abode with him.

24 "He who does not love Me ²⁰does not keep My words; and ²¹the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

25 "These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.

26 "But the ²²Helper, the Holy Spirit, ²³whom the Father will send in My name, ²⁴He will teach you all things, and ²⁵bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

27 "²⁶Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. ²⁷Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

28 "²⁸You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and ²⁹I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because ³⁰I go to the Father, for ³¹the Father is greater than I.

29 "Now ³²I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

30 "I will not speak much more with you, for ³³the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing * in Me;
