John 14:8-17 (25-27)Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied. 9Jesussaid to him, Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do notknow me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, Showus the Father? 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is inme? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father whodwells in me does his works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Fatheris in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves.12Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the worksthat I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going tothe Father. 13I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may beglorified in the Son. 14If in my name you ask me* for anything, I will do it. 15 Ifyou love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask theFather, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you for ever. 17Thisis the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither seeshim nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he willbe in you.25 I have said these things to you while I am still with you. 26But theAdvocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, willteach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. 27PeaceI leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world 9.

Johns PentecostWhen it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace be with you. 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. 22When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained. 19.
