14:17 Spirit of truth. The “Spirit of Truth” inspired the Holy Scriptures (I Peter 1:11; II Peter 1:21); therefore they are altogether true and righteous (Psalm 19:9).

14:17 in you. The Holy Spirit frequently guided and energized the people of God in ancient times, but, with the death and resurrection of Christ, the way was open for Him to indwell every believer permanently (I Corinthians 6:19; Romans 8:9).

14:26 remembrance. John wrote his gospel, and the detailed discourses of Jesus recorded therein, approximately fifty years after the events occurred, yet he was able to recall and reproduce them all by the supernatural inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The same would have been true for the other New Testament writers. We can be confident, therefore, in view of this promise, as well as the many assurances of inspiration of the Old Testament (e.g., II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21) that our entire Bible is altogether true and trustworthy.
