The Spirit Is Promised Again
5 “But now (A)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘(B)Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, (C)sorrow has filled your heart. 7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the [a](D)Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, (E)I will send Him to you. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9 concerning sin, (F)because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning (G)righteousness, because (H)I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 (I)and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 “I still have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 But when He, (J)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will (K)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 He will (L)glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 (M)All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

John 16:5-15
New King James Version
The Work of the Holy Spirit
5 “But now I (A)go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, (B)sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but (C)if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has (D)come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 (E)of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 (F)of righteousness, (G)because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 (H)of judgment, because (I)the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, (J)but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, (K)the Spirit of truth, has come, (L)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 (M)He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 (N)All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He [a]will take of Mine and declare it to you.
