Study note
Setting — Jesus speaks to His gathered disciples during the Farewell Discourse, immediately preceding His arrest, to explain the Spirit’s imminent arrival.
The words — λήμψεται (lēmpsetai) = He will take, and δοξάσει (doxasei) = will glorify, describing the Spirit’s action of receiving from Christ and revealing it.
The thread — The Spirit’s revelatory work mirrors John 15:26, where He proceeds from the Father to testify, and 1 John 4:13, where His giving confirms mutual indwelling.
Why it lands — It demands that the reader accept spiritual understanding as a received transmission from Christ through the Spirit, not an independently generated insight.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Greek words
King James Version
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
