3 “These things they will do abecause they have not known the Father or Me.

4 “But these things I have spoken to you, aso that when their hour comes, you 1may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you bat the beginning, because I was with you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

5 “But now aI am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘bWhere are You going?’

6 “But because I have said these things to you, asorrow has filled your heart.

7 “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the 1aHelper will not come to you; but if I go, bI will send Him to you.

8 “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

9 concerning sin, abecause they do not believe in Me;

10 and concerning arighteousness, because bI go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

11 aand concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

13 “But when He, athe Spirit of truth, comes, He will bguide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

14 “He will aglorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

15 “aAll things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
