John 14:15-26
15) If you love me, keep my commandments.
16) I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,
17) -- the Spirit of truth, whom the world can‘t receive; for it doesn‘t see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.
18) I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19) Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20) In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21) Someone who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
22) Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what will happen that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
23) Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.
24) He who doesn‘t love me doesn‘t keep my words. The word which you hear isn‘t mine, but the Father‘s who sent me.
25) I have said these things to you, while still living with you.
26) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your memory all that I said to you.
John 15:26-27
26) When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27) You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
John 16:7-14
7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don‘t go away, the Counselor won‘t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8) When he has come, he will convict the world in respect to sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
9) of sin, because they don‘t believe in me;
10) of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you see me no more;
11) of judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12) I have yet many things to tell you, but you can‘t bear them now.
13) However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever things he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you the things that are to come.
14) He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
Acts 2:1-4
1) Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2) Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3) Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and it sat on each one of them.
4) They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
Romans 8:26-27
26) In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don‘t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can‘t be uttered.
27) He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit‘s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.
