Compare all
10 Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you bI do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.  
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, aor else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.  

The Answered Prayer

12 a“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.  
13 aAnd whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be bglorified in the Son.  
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.  

Jesus Promises Another Helper

15 a“If you love Me,1 keep My commandments.  
16 And I will pray the Father, and aHe will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—  
17 athe Spirit of truth, bwhom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you cand will be in you.  
18 aI will not leave you orphans; bI will come to you.  

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ayou will see Me. bBecause I live, you will live also.  
20 At that day you will know that aI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.  
21 aHe who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and1 manifest Myself to him.”  
22 aJudas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”  
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, aand We will come to him and make Our home with him.  
24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and athe word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
