John 14:7–21

⁷If you had known me, you would have known^d my Father also. From now on^e you know him and have seen him.”

⁸Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹Jesus said to him, “Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ ¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself, but the Father residing in me does his works. ¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. ¹²Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in me, the works that I am doing he will do also, and he will do greater works^* than these because I am going to the Father. ¹³And whatever^f you ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.^*

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

¹⁵“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. ¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever^g—¹⁷the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him.^* You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

¹⁸“I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. ¹⁹Yet a little time and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. ²⁰On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
