The Upper Room Discourse

When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. (John 16:13, ESV)

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever…
