13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If in my name you ask me[a] for anything, I will do it.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, you will keep[b] my commandments.(A) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[c] to be with you forever.(B) 17 This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him because he abides with you, and he will be[d] in[e] you.(C)

18 “I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.(D) 21 They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me, and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.”(E) 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(F) 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.(G)

25 “I have said these things to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Advocate,[f] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you.(H) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.(I) 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.(J) 29 And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur you may believe.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, keep my commands.(B) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate(C) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.(D) The world cannot accept him,(E) 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;(F) I will come to you.(G) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(H) Because I live, you also will live.(I) 20 On that day(J) you will realize that I am in my Father,(K) and you are in me, and I am in you.(L) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(M) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(N) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas(O) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(P)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(Q) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(R) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(S)

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate,(T) the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,(U) will teach you all things(V) and will remind you of everything I have said to you.(W) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.(X) I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled(Y) and do not be afraid.

28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’(Z) If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,(AA) for the Father is greater than I.(AB) 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.(AC)
