He promised to send the Holy Spirit to be their teacher and comforter while He was gone. He told them to pray in His name, and their prayers would surely be answered. He then prayed for them, asking that they might be kept from evil, and might love one another as He had loved them.

Han lovede at sende dem Helligånden til at lære og trøste dem, når han var gået bort. Han sagde, at de skulle bede i hans navn, så ville deres bønner blive hørt. Derpå bad han for dem. Han bad om, at de måtte blive bevaret fra det onde, og at de måtte elske hverandre, ligesom han havde elsket dem.
