John 14:15-31

New King James Version

Jesus Promises Another Helper

¹⁵^(A)“If you love Me, ^[a]keep My commandments. ¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and ^(B)He will give you another ^[b]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— ¹⁷^(C)the Spirit of truth, ^(D)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you ^(E)and will be in you. ¹⁸^(F)I will not leave you orphans; ^(G)I will come to you.

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

¹⁹“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ^(H)you will see Me. ^(I)Because I live, you will live also. ²⁰At that day you will know that ^(J)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ²¹^(K)He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and ^[c]manifest Myself to him.”

²²^(L)Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

²³Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^(M)and We will come to him and make Our home with him. ²⁴He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and ^(N)the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace

²⁵“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. ²⁶But ^(O)the ^[d]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will ^(P)send in My name, ^(Q)He will teach you all things, and bring to your ^(R)remembrance all things that I said to you. ²⁷^(S)Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ²⁸You have heard Me ^(T)say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because ^[e]I said, ^(U)‘I am going to the Father,’ for ^(V)My Father is greater than I.

²⁹“And ^(W)now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. ³⁰I will no longer talk much with you, ^(X)for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has ^(Y)nothing in Me. ³¹But that the world may know that I love the Father, and ^(Z)as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
