John 14:12-24

12I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father.

13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

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

16Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever –

17the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

18“I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you.

19In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.

20You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

21The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”

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

23Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.

24The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
