John 14:14-24

14 If you ask me to do something, I will do it.

15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever.

17 That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn't see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you.

18 "I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you.

19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live.

20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you.

21 Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father's love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them."

22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Jesus, "Lord, what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

23 Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will go to them and make our home with them.

24 A person who doesn't love me doesn't do what I say. I don't make up what you hear me say. What I say comes from the Father who sent me.
