John 14:16-20

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another d Helper, 1 to be with you forever, 17 even e the Spirit of truth, f whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and g will be in you.

18 "I will not leave you as orphans; h I will come to you. 19 i Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but j you will see me. k Because I live, you also will live. 20 l In that day you will know that m I am in my Father, and n you in me, and o I in you.
