John 14:7–16

⁷If you know me, you will know^y my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

⁸Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” ⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?^{* 10}Do 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 on my own, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.^{* 11}Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, but if you do not, then believe^z because of the works themselves.^{* 12}Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If in my name you ask me^a for anything, I will do it.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

¹⁵“If you love me, you will keep^b my commandments.^{* 16}And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,^c to be with you forever.^*
