Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

¹⁵ “If you love me, keep my commands.^{(A) 16} And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate^(B) to help you and be with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth.^(C) The world cannot accept him,^(D) because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be^[a] in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans;^(E) I will come to you.^{(F) 19} Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.^(G) Because I live, you also will live.^{(H) 20} On that day^(I) you will realize that I am in my Father,^(J) and you are in me, and I am in you.^(K)

⁷ He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.^{(A) 8} But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;^(B) and you will be my witnesses^(C) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,^(D) and to the ends of the earth.”^(E)
