14:24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
14:25 "All this I have spoken while still with you.
14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
16:6 Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
16:7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
16:8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
16:9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;
16:10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
16:11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
16:12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
16:14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
16:15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
16:16 "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me."
