16. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper. He will give you this Helper to be with you forever.
17. The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because it does not see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you and he will be in you.
18. “I will not leave you all alone like orphans. I will come back to you.
19. In a little while 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 am in my Father. You will know that you are in me and I am in you.
21. He who knows my commands and obeys them is the one who loves me. And my Father will love him who loves me. I will love him and will show myself to him.”
22. Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you plan to show yourself to us, but not to the world?”
23. Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, then he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
