The Holy Spirit Promised

“But now (A)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘(B)Where are You going?’ But because I have said these things to you, (C)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](D)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, (E)I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: regarding sin, (F)because they do not believe in Me; 10 and regarding (G)righteousness, because (H)I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; 11 (I)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, (J)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will (K)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. 14 He will (L)glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 (M)All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

“But now (A)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘(B)Where are You going?’ But because I have said these things to you, (C)sorrow has filled your heart. 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)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, (E)I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 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 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 on His own initiative, 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.
