John 14:15-31
Another Counselor Promised
15“If you
love Me, you will keep My commandments; 16and I also will ask the
Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. 17He
is the Spirit of truth, whom the world is unable to receive because it doesn’t
see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will
be in you. 18I will not leave
you as orphans; I am coming to you.
19“In a little while the world will see Me no longer, but you will see
Me. Because I live, you will live too. 20In that day you will know
that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you. 21The one
who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who
loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal
Myself to him.”
22Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal
Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father
will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24The
one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not
Mine, but is from the Father who sent Me.
25“I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26But
the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom
the Father will send in My name, will
teach you all things† and remind you of everything I have told
you.
27“Peace I leave with you. My
peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must
not be troubled or fearful. 28You have heard Me tell you, ‘I am
going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that
I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. 29I
have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may
believe. 30I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler
of the world is coming. He has no power over Me. 31aOn the contrary,
I am going away so that the world may know that I love the Father. Just as the
Father commanded Me, so I do.
31b“Get up; let’s leave this place.[1]
