But I tell you the truth— it is better[a] for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. And having come, that One will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment— concerning sin, because[b] they are not believing in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because[c] I am going to the Father and you are no longer going to see Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

When The Helper Comes, He Will Guide You Into All Truth

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. 13 But when that One, the Spirit of truth, comes— He will guide you in all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but He will speak whatever He will hear. And He will declare to you the things coming. 14 That One will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All[d] that the Father has is Mine. For this reason I said that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.
