¹² So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you ^[a]know what I have done to you? ^13 (A)You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. ^14 (B)If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^(C)you also ought to wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵ For ^(D)I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ^16 (E)Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. ^17 (F)If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

^20 (A)Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Promises Another Helper

^15 (A)“If you love Me, ^[a]keep My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and ^(B)He will give you another ^[b]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— ^17 (C)the Spirit of truth, ^(D)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you ^(E)and will be in you. ^18 (F)I will not leave you orphans; ^(G)I will come to you.

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

¹⁹ “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ^(H)you will see Me. ^(I)Because I live, you will live also. ²⁰ At that day you will know that ^(J)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ^21 (K)He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and ^[c]manifest Myself to him.”

^22 (L)Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^(M)and We will come to him and make Our home with him. ²⁴ He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and ^(N)the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. ²⁶ But ^(O)the ^[d]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will ^(P)send in My name, ^(Q)He will teach you all things, and bring to your ^(R)remembrance all things that I said to you. ^27 (S)Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ²⁸ You have heard Me ^(T)say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because ^[e]I said, ^(U)‘I am going to the Father,’ for ^(V)My Father is greater than I.

²⁹ “And ^(W)now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.

¹² “I still have many things to say to you, ^(A)but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ However, when He, ^(B)the Spirit of truth, has come, ^(C)He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. ^14 (D)He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. ^15 (E)All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He ^[a]will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Sorrow Will Turn to Joy

¹⁶ “A ^(F)little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, ^(G)because I go to the Father.”

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I go to the Father’?” ¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not ^[b]know what He is saying.”

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’? ²⁰ Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and ^(H)lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into ^(I)joy. ^21 (J)A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. ²² Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and ^(K)your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

²³ “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. ^(L)Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, ^(M)that your joy may be ^(N)full.
