16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter,* 17 the Spirit of truth, who will always be with you. The world cannot accept him because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t know him. But you know him because he lives with you and will be in you.

18 I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you. 19 Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too. 20 On that day* you will know that I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you. 21 Those who keep my commands are the ones who love me, those who love me will be loved by my Father. I will love them too, and will reveal myself to them."

22 Judas (not Iscariot) responded, "Lord, why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

23 Jesus replied, "Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them. 24 Those who don’t love me don’t do what I say. These words don’t come from me, they come from the Father who sent me.

25 I’m explaining this to you while I’m still here with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, in my place,* he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.
