John 14:26

JOHN—NOTE ON John 14:26 He will teach you uses the masculine pronoun “he” instead of the neutral pronoun “it.” Many interpreters have seen this as John’s awareness of the distinct personhood of the Spirit. John follows the same usage in John 15:26 and John 16:13. That the Helper will teach the disciples all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you is an important promise regarding the disciples’ future role in writing the words of Scripture; see also John 16:13. Jesus’ promise here is specifically to these disciples, though the Holy Spirit teaches and guides all believers (Romans 8:14). On the work of the Trinity, see chart.
