I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever.

He is the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive him, because it cannot see him or know him. But you know him, because he remains with you and is in you.

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.

Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.

As fresh water brings joy to the thirsty, so God's people rejoice when he saves them."

But once more God will send us his spirit. The wasteland will become fertile, and fields will produce rich crops.

"I will give water to the thirsty land and make streams flow on the dry ground. I will pour out my spirit on your children and my blessing on your descendants.

"Afterward I will pour out my Spirit on everyone: your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your old people will have dreams, and your young people will see visions.

So John said to all of them, "I baptize you with water, but someone is coming who is much greater than I am. I am not good enough even to untie his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

And I myself will send upon you what my Father has promised. But you must wait in the city until the power from above comes down upon you."

And when they came together, he gave them this order: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift I told you about, the gift my Father promised.

When the apostles met together with Jesus, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time give the Kingdom back to Israel?"

But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.

'This is what I will do in the last days, God says: I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams.

Peter said to them, "Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit.

When they finished praying, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God's message with boldness.

But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to---if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

And you also became God's people when you heard the true message, the Good News that brought you salvation. You believed in Christ, and God put his stamp of ownership on you by giving you the Holy Spirit he had promised.

The Spirit is the guarantee that we shall receive what God has promised his people, and this assures us that God will give complete freedom to those who are his. Let us praise his glory!

And do not make God's Holy Spirit sad; for the Spirit is God's mark of ownership on you, a guarantee that the Day will come when God will set you free.

But I am telling you the truth: it is better for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, then I will send him to you.

He goes up to the heights, taking many captives with him; he receives gifts from rebellious people. The LORD God will live there.

But once more God will send us his spirit. The wasteland will become fertile, and fields will produce rich crops.

'This is what I will do in the last days, God says: I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams.

He has been raised to the right side of God, his Father, and has received from him the Holy Spirit, as he had promised. What you now see and hear is his gift that he has poured out on us.

how much greater is the glory that belongs to the activity of the Spirit!

His disciples did not understand this at the time; but when Jesus had been raised to glory, they remembered that the scripture said this about him and that they had done this for him.

After Judas had left, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man's glory is revealed; now God's glory is revealed through him.

And if God's glory is revealed through him, then God will reveal the glory of the Son of Man in himself, and he will do so at once.

And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the Son.

Father! Give me glory in your presence now, the same glory I had with you before the world was made.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has given divine glory to his Servant Jesus. But you handed him over to the authorities, and you rejected him in Pilate's presence, even after Pilate had decided to set him free.

There was much whispering about him in the crowd. "He is a good man," some people said. "No," others said, "he fools the people."

"Who are you, then?" they asked. "Are you Elijah?" "No, I am not," John answered. "Are you the Prophet?" they asked. "No," he replied.

then asked John, "If you are not the Messiah nor Elijah nor the Prophet, why do you baptize?"

Seeing this miracle that Jesus had performed, the people there said, "Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"

Instead, he will send you a prophet like me from among your own people, and you are to obey him.

So the LORD said to me, 'They have made a wise request.

"Some say John the Baptist," they answered. "Others say Elijah, while others say Jeremiah or some other prophet."

"This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee," the crowds answered.

They all were filled with fear and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us!" they said; "God has come to save his people!"

For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will send you a prophet, just as he sent me, and he will be one of your own people. You are to obey everything that he tells you to do.

Anyone who does not obey that prophet shall be separated from God's people and destroyed.'
