John 14:12-24

12“I can guarantee this truth: Those who believe in me will do the things that I am doing. They will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.

13I will do anything you ask ⌞the Father⌟ in my name so that the Father will be given glory because of the Son.

14If you ask me to do something, I will do it.

15“If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

16I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever.

17That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn’t see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you.

18“I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you.

19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live.

20On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you.

21Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father’s love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them.”

22Judas (not Iscariot) asked Jesus, “Lord, what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

23Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will go to them and make our home with them.

24A person who doesn’t love me doesn’t do what I say. I don’t make up what you hear me say. What I say comes from the Father who sent me.
