John 14:12-26

New King James Version

The Answered Prayer

¹²^(A)“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³^(B)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be ^(C)glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you ^[a]ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises Another Helper

¹⁵^(D)“If you love Me, ^[b]keep My commandments. ¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and ^(E)He will give you another ^[c]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— ¹⁷^(F)the Spirit of truth, ^(G)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you ^(H)and will be in you. ¹⁸^(I)I will not leave you orphans; ^(J)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 ^(K)you will see Me. ^(L)Because I live, you will live also. ²⁰At that day you will know that ^(M)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ²¹^(N)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 ^[d]manifest Myself to him.”

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

²³Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^(P)and We will come to him and make Our home with him. ²⁴He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and ^(Q)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. ²⁶But ^(R)the ^[e]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will ^(S)send in My name, ^(T)He will teach you all things, and bring to your ^(U)remembrance all things that I said to you.

Isaiah 41:1-10

New King James Version

Israel Assured of God’s Help

41 “Keep ^(A)silence before Me, O coastlands,
And let the people renew their strength!
Let them come near, then let them speak;
Let us ^(B)come near together for judgment.

²“Who raised up one ^(C)from the east?
Who in righteousness called him to His feet?
Who ^(D)gave the nations before him,
And made him rule over kings?
Who gave them as the dust to his sword,
As driven stubble to his bow?
³Who pursued them, and passed ^[a]safely
By the way that he had not gone with his feet?
⁴^(E)Who has performed and done it,
Calling the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the Lord, am ^(F)the first;
And with the last I am ^(G)He.’ ”

⁵The coastlands saw it and feared,
The ends of the earth were afraid;
They drew near and came.
⁶^(H)Everyone helped his neighbor,
And said to his brother,
^[b]“Be of good courage!”
⁷^(I)So the craftsman encouraged the ^(J)goldsmith;^[c]
He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil,
Saying, ^[d]“It is ready for the soldering”;
Then he fastened it with pegs,
^(K)That it might not totter.

⁸“But you, Israel, are My servant,
Jacob whom I have ^(L)chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My ^(M)friend.
⁹You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you,
‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
¹⁰^(N)Fear not, ^(O)for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
