Listen from:
V.1-16 Jesus continues to comfort His disciples. He is telling some secrets concerning their future: He warns them that some would be put out of the synagogue, some would be killed and He tells that if He didn’t go up to heaven, the Holy Spirit, with all His power, could not come. It would all be well worth it,
V.8 The Holy Spirit would be a demonstration to the world.
V.12-15 Jesus had many things to say to the disciples, but they did not have the power to receive them until the Holy Spirit had come down. The Holy Spirit would guide them into all truth.
V.16-22 They would sorrow while He was away, but He would come again, and they would then rejoice. Now after He had died, He rose again, and some of the believers saw Him. But mainly this is referring to the coming for all believers in the air. For this we wait today.
V.23-26 He opens up to them the way they were to pray. They could pray to the Father in His name.
V.24 Fullness of joy through prayer — dependence.
V.33 What Jesus had spoken was in order that they might have peace in Him. In the world they would have troubles, but He had overcome the world. This is the end of the Lord’s talking to His disciples.
