John 14:12-24

12“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.

13You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.

14Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!

15“If you love me, obey my commandments.

16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.

17He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.

18No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.

19Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live.

20When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

21Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”

22Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, “Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?”

23Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.

24Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me.
