Notes

Jesus had already assured his followers that they would not be spiritual orphans and that he would return to them (14:1–4). While he is away, they will be filled with the Spirit, who will sustain them with his presence (14:12–17).

Jesus provided answers to his disciples’ many spoken and unspoken concerns.
