JOHN 16:12

THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

The Spirit of Truth, Our Guide to All Truth

“I did not tell you all this previously

because I was with you.

5 But now I am going away

to the one who sent me.

Not one of you asks me,

‘Where are you going?’

6 However, because I have told you this,

you are overcome with grief.

7 “Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth:

it is better for you that I depart.

For if I do not go away,

the Advocate will not come to you,

whereas if I go,

I will send him to you.

8 “And when he comes,

he will prove the world wrong

about sin and righteousness and judgment:

9 about sin,

because they do not believe in me;

10 about righteousness,

because I am going to the Father

and you will see me no longer;

11 about judgment,

because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

12 “I have much more to tell you,

but you would not be able to bear it now.

13 But when the Spirit of truth comes,

he will guide you into all the truth.

He will not speak on his own authority,

but he will speak what he hears,

and he will declare to you

the things that are coming.

14 He will glorify me,

for he will take what is mine

and communicate it to you.

15 Everything that the Father has is mine.

That is why I said

that he will take what is mine

and communicate it to you.
