(A)Philip said to him, “Lord, (B)show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? (C)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that (D)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you (E)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that (F)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else (G)believe on account of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (H)whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I (I)am going to the Father. 13 (J)Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that (K)the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 (L)If you ask me[a] anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 (M)“If you love me, you will (N)keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another (O)Helper,[b] to be with you forever, 17 even (P)the Spirit of truth, (Q)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and (R)will be[c] in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; (S)I will come to you. 19 (T)Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but (U)you will see me. (V)Because I live, you also will live. 20 (W)In that day you will know that (X)I am in my Father, and (Y)you in me, and (Z)I in you. 21 (AA)Whoever has my commandments and (AB)keeps them, he it is who loves me. And (AC)he who loves me (AD)will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and (AE)manifest myself to him.” 22 (AF)Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it (AG)that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, (AH)“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and (AI)we will come to him and (AJ)make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And (AK)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. 26 But the (AL)Helper, the Holy Spirit, (AM)whom the Father will send in my name, (AN)he will teach you all things and (AO)bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 (AP)Peace I leave with you; (AQ)my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. (AR)Let not your hearts be troubled, neither (AS)let them be afraid.

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

When (A)the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like (B)a mighty rushing wind, and (C)it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues (D)as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them. And they were all (E)filled with the Holy Spirit and began (F)to speak in other tongues (G)as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And (H)at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And (I)they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking (J)Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and (K)Medes and (L)Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and (M)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And (N)all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others (O)mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, (P)since it is only the third hour of the day.[b] 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 (Q)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
(R)that I will pour out my Spirit (S)on all flesh,
and your sons and (T)your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and (U)they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 (V)the sun shall be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood,
    before (W)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that (X)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

14 For all who are (A)led by the Spirit of God are (B)sons[a] of God. 15 For (C)you did not receive (D)the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of (E)adoption as sons, by whom we cry, (F)“Abba! Father!” 16 (G)The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then (H)heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, (I)provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
    In (A)wisdom have you made them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Here is the sea, great and wide,
    (B)which teems with creatures innumerable,
    living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
    and (C)Leviathan, which you formed to (D)play in it.[a]

27 These (E)all look to you,
    to (F)give them their food in due season.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
    when you (G)open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you (H)hide your face, they are (I)dismayed;
    when you (J)take away their breath, they die
    and (K)return to their dust.
30 When you (L)send forth your Spirit,[b] they are created,
    and you (M)renew the face of the ground.

31 May the glory of the Lord (N)endure forever;
    may the Lord (O)rejoice in his works,
32 who looks on the earth and it (P)trembles,
    who (Q)touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 I will sing to the Lord (R)as long as I live;
    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my (S)meditation be pleasing to him,
    for I rejoice in the Lord.
