⁵But now I am going away^ah to him who sent me, and not one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’^ai ⁶Yet, because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth.^aj It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you.^ak ⁸When he comes, he will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment: ⁹About sin, because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰about righteousness, because I am going to the Father^al and you will no longer see me; ¹¹and about judgment,^am because the ruler of this world^an has been judged.^ao

¹²“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.^ap ¹³When the Spirit of truth^aq comes, he will guide you into all the truth.^ar For he will not speak on his own, but he will speak whatever he hears. He will also declare to you what is to come. ¹⁴He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. ¹⁵Everything the Father^as has is mine.^at This is why I told you that he takes from what is mine and will declare it to you.^au

Read in Logos

John 16:13: When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
