NARRATOR: Jesus spoke to his disciples.
JESUS 1: If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, who will give you another Advocate to abide with you always: the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, since it neither sees nor recognizes the Spirit; but you know the Spirit because the Spirit abides with you and will be in you.
JESUS 2: I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
JESUS 3: Those who have my commandments and keep them are the ones who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father. I too will love them and reveal myself to them.
