saying,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.

I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness,
and of judgment:

and ye see me no more;

but ye cannot bear them now.

the Spirit of truth,
is come,
he will guide you into all truth:

that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.

for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.
