12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes(A) in me will do the works I have been doing,(B) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask(C) in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans;(H) I will come to you.(I) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(J) Because I live, you also will live.(K) 20 On that day(L) you will realize that I am in my Father,(M) and you are in me, and I am in you.(N) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(O) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(P) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

  1. John 14:17 Some early manuscripts and is

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
