⁴⁹ For ^(A)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father ^(B)who sent me has himself given me ^(C)a commandment—what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”

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

⁹ But, as it is written,

¹⁰ these things ^(D)God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even ^(E)the depths of God. ¹¹ For who knows a person's thoughts ^(F)except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now ^(G)we have received not ^(H)the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. ¹³ And we impart this ^(I)in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, ^(J)interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.^[a]

¹⁹ And ^(A)we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention ^(B)as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ^(C)the day ^(D)dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, ²⁰ knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. ²¹ For ^(E)no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ^(F)as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
