The Baptism and Testing of Jesus(A)(B)

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth(C) in Galilee and was baptized by John(D) in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.(E) 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,(F) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”(G)

But because I have said these things to you, (A)grief has filled your heart. But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the [a](B)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, (C)I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: regarding sin, (D)because they do not believe in Me; 10 and regarding (E)righteousness, because (F)I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; 11 (G)and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time. 13 But when He, (H)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will (I)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

Rather, you are filled with grief(A) because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(B) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(C) When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin,(D) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(E) because I am going to the Father,(F) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(G) now stands condemned.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.(H) 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth,(I) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.(J) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
