John 14:25-26
What is written? (ESV)
These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, 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.
What does it say?
These things I [Jesus] am telling you [Apostles] while in your presence. But, God the Father will send you the Holy Spirit in My name, who will teach you all things and cause you to remember everything I have said to you.
What is its immediate context?
This entire section of Scripture (John 13-17) is Jesus in the upper room with the twelve apostles. He is speaking to them directly and giving them instruction about his coming death and what will follow.
How John 14:25-26 is applied across Bible answers
What ‘all truth’ did the apostles receive (John 16:13)?
Earlier on the same occasion in the upper room1, Jesus says the same thing about what the Holy Spirit will do for them but says "all things" (instead of "all truth"1).
Jesus goes on to further qualify these "things" as His "peace" that He would leave with them (vs 27) - the gospel.
What does the Holy Spirit do for the Christian today?
It doesn't. Jesus is speaking directly to the apostles regarding their special office and the role of God's messenger that they will play after He is gone (note: it's repeated a little later6).
