John 14:15-31

English Standard Version

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

¹⁵^(A)“If you love me, you will ^(B)keep my commandments. ¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ^(C)Helper,^[a] to be with you forever, ¹⁷even ^(D)the Spirit of truth, ^(E)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and ^(F)will be^[b] in you.

¹⁸“I will not leave you as orphans; ^(G)I will come to you. ¹⁹^(H)Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but ^(I)you will see me. ^(J)Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰^(K)In that day you will know that ^(L)I am in my Father, and ^(M)you in me, and ^(N)I in you. ²¹^(O)Whoever has my commandments and ^(P)keeps them, he it is who loves me. And ^(Q)he who loves me ^(R)will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ^(S)manifest myself to him.” ²²^(T)Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ^(U)that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” ²³Jesus answered him, ^(V)“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ^(W)we will come to him and ^(X)make our home with him. ²⁴Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And ^(Y)the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

²⁵“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. ²⁶But the ^(Z)Helper, the Holy Spirit, ^(AA)whom the Father will send in my name, ^(AB)he will teach you all things and ^(AC)bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. ²⁷^(AD)Peace I leave with you; ^(AE)my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ^(AF)Let not your hearts be troubled, neither ^(AG)let them be afraid. ²⁸^(AH)You heard me say to you, ^(AI)‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I ^(AJ)am going to the Father, for ^(AK)the Father is greater than I. ²⁹And ^(AL)now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. ³⁰I will no longer talk much with you, for ^(AM)the ruler of this world is coming. ^(AN)He has no claim on me, ³¹but I do ^(AO)as the Father has commanded me, ^(AP)so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
