John 14:8–17

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.^{* 17}This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him because he abides with you, and he will be^d in^e you.^*
