Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

^15 (A)“If you love me, you will ^(B)keep my commandments. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ^(C)Helper,^[a] to be with you forever, ¹⁷ even ^(D)the Spirit of truth, ^(E)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and ^(F)will be^[b] in you.

¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; ^(G)I will come to you. ^19 (H)Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but ^(I)you will see me. ^(J)Because I live, you also will live.

⁵ But now ^(A)I am going to him who sent me, and ^(B)none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, ^(C)sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for ^(D)if I do not go away, ^(E)the Helper will not come to you. But ^(F)if ^(G)I go, ^(H)I will send him to you. ^8 (I)And when he comes, he will ^(J)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹ concerning sin, ^(K)because they do not believe in me; ^10 (L)concerning righteousness, ^(M)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; ^11 (N)concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world ^(O)is judged.

¹² “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ When ^(P)the Spirit of truth comes, ^(Q)he will ^(R)guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but ^(S)whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. ¹⁴ He will ^(T)glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. ^15 (U)All that the Father has is mine; ^(V)therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

^16 (W)“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and ^(X)again a little while, and you will see me.”
