John 14:15-30

Christian Standard Bible

Another Counselor Promised

¹⁵ “If you love me, you will keep^[a] my commands.^{(A) 16} And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor^[b](B) to be with you forever. ¹⁷ He is the Spirit^(C) of truth.^(D) The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him. But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be^[c] in you.^(E)

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ In a little while the world will no longer see me,^(F) but you will see me.^(G) Because I live, you will live^(H) too. ²⁰ On that day you will know that I am in my Father,^(I) you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹ The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.^(J) And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father.^(K) I also will love him and will reveal myself to him.”

²² Judas^(L) (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it you’re going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” ^(M)

²³ Jesus 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.^{(N) 24} The 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.^(O)

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. ²⁶ But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit,^(P) whom the Father will send^(Q) in my name, will teach you all things^(R) and remind you of everything I have told you.^(S)

Jesus’s Gift of Peace

²⁷ “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.^{(T) 28} You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away^(U) and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father,^(V) because the Father is greater than I.^{(W) 29} I have told you now before it happens^(X) so that when it does happen you may believe. ³⁰ I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world^(Y) is coming. He has no power over me.^[d](Z)
