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.

Psalm 57

English Standard Version

Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Do Not Destroy. A ^(B)Miktam^[a] of David, when he fled from Saul, in ^(C)the cave.

57 ^(D)Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
    for in you my soul ^(E)takes refuge;
in ^(F)the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
    ^(G)till the storms of destruction pass by.
²I cry out to God Most High,
    to God who ^(H)fulfills his purpose for me.
³^(I)He will send from heaven and save me;
    he will put to shame ^(J)him who tramples on me. Selah
^(K)God will send out ^(L)his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

⁴My soul is in the midst of ^(M)lions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose ^(N)teeth are spears and arrows,
whose ^(O)tongues are sharp swords.

⁵^(P)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!

⁶They set ^(Q)a net for my steps;
    my soul was ^(R)bowed down.
They ^(S)dug a pit in my way,
    but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
⁷^(T)My heart is ^(U)steadfast, O God,
    my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
⁸    ^(V)Awake, ^(W)my glory!^[b]
Awake, ^(X)O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn!
⁹I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
    I will sing praises to you among the nations.
¹⁰For your ^(Y)steadfast love is great to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
