John 14:15-30

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 ¹“If you love me, you will ²keep my commandments.

16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ³Helper, ^[a] to be with you forever,

17 even ⁴the Spirit of truth, ⁵whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and ⁶will be^[b] in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; ⁷I will come to you.

19 ⁸Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but ⁹you will see me. ¹⁰Because I live, you also will live.

20 ¹¹In that day you will know that ¹²I am in my Father, and ¹³you in me, and ¹⁴I in you.

21 ¹⁵Whoever has my commandments and ¹⁶keeps them, he it is who loves me. And ¹⁷he who loves me ¹⁸will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ¹⁹manifest myself to him. ”

22 ²⁰Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ²¹that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? ”

23 Jesus answered him, ²²“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ²³we will come to him and ²⁴make our home with him.

24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And ²⁵the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.

26 But the ²⁶Helper, the Holy Spirit, ²⁷whom the Father will send in my name, ²⁸he will teach you all things and ²⁹bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

27 ³⁰Peace I leave with you; ³¹my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ³²Let not your hearts be troubled, neither ³³let them be afraid.

28 ³⁴You heard me say to you, ³⁵‘I am going away, and I will come to you. ’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I ³⁶am going to the Father, for ³⁷the Father is greater than I.

29 And ³⁸now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.

30 I will no longer talk much with you, for ³⁹the ruler of this world is coming. ⁴⁰He has no claim on me,
