The Day of the Lord

⁸ I baptize you with^[a] water, but he will baptize you with^[b] the Holy Spirit.”^(A)

⁵ but now I am going to him who sent me.^(A) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’^{(B) 6} Rather, you are filled with grief^(C) because I have said these things. ⁷ But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate^(D) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.^{(E) 8} When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹ about sin,^(F) because people do not believe in me; ¹⁰ about righteousness,^(G) because I am going to the Father,^(H) where you can see me no longer; ¹¹ and about judgment, because the prince of this world^(I) now stands condemned.

¹² “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.^{(J) 13} But when he, the Spirit of truth,^(K) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.^(L) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. ¹⁵ All that belongs to the Father is mine.^(M) That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy

¹⁶ Jesus went on to say, “In a little while^(N) you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”^(O)
