₂₆“The Helper will come — the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father. I will send him to you from the Father, and he will speak about me. ₂₇And you, too, will speak about me, because you have been with me from the very beginning.

₄But I have told you this, so that when the time comes for them to do these things, you will remember that I told you.

“I did not tell you these things at the beginning, for I was with you. ₅But now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me where I am going. ₆And now that I have told you, your hearts are full of sadness. ₇But I am telling you the truth: it is better for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, then I will send him to you. ₈And when he comes, he will prove to the people of the world that they are wrong about sin and about what is right and about God's judgement. ₉They are wrong about sin, because they do not believe in me; ₁₀they are wrong about what is right, because I am going to the Father and you will not see me any more; ₁₁and they are wrong about judgement, because the ruler of this world has already been judged.

₁₂“I have much more to tell you, but now it would be too much for you to bear. ₁₃When, however, the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, he will lead you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of what he hears, and will tell you of things to come. ₁₄He will give me glory, because he will take what I say and tell it to you. ₁₅All that my Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit will take what I give him and tell it to you.
