Jesus spoke about another counsellor:
In his farewell speech only in John, Jesus spoke about another counsellor he said is the Holy Spirit coming.
Jesus: "If you love
me, you will keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he will give
you another Counselor, to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth, whom
the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know
him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.
"These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the
Counselor, the Holy Spirit (the counselor is the Holy Spirit), whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach
you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even
the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me;
and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.
But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for
if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will
send him to you.
And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness
and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning
righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more;
concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When
the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will
not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak and he will
declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will
take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine;
therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
