Context of John 14:24
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, ‘Lord, why will you show yourself only to us? Why will you not show yourself also to the people who belong to this world?’ 23Jesus replied, ‘Everyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. And my Father and I will come to them and we will make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my message. These words that you hear are not my own. No, they come from the Father, who sent me. 25I have said these things to you while I am still with you. 26But the Father will send the Holy Spirit to be with you. He will be your Helper. He will come in my name, and he will teach you all things. He will help you to remember everything that I have told you.
