What the Holy Spirit Will Do
5 "Now I am going to the One who sent me. But none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
6
Because I have said these things, you are filled with sadness.
7
"But what I'm about to tell you is true. It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Friend will not come to help you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8
When he comes, he will prove that the world's people are guilty. He will prove their guilt concerning sin and godliness and judgment.
9
"The world is guilty as far as sin is concerned. That is because people do not believe in me.
10
The world is guilty as far as godliness is concerned. That is because I am going to the Father, where you can't see me anymore.
11
The world is guilty as far as judgment is concerned. That is because the devil, the prince of this world, has already been judged.
12
"I have much more to say to you. It is more than you can handle right now.
13
But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own. He will speak only what he hears. And he will tell you what is still going to happen.
14
"He will bring me glory by receiving something from me and showing it to you.
15
Everything that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Holy Spirit will receive something from me and show it to you.
16
"In a little while, you will no longer see me. Then after a little while, you will see me."
