Paragraph 14:25–26

In this paragraph, Jesus told his disciples that the Holy Spirit would teach them everything.

14:25

All this I have spoken to you: The word this refers to all that Jesus had just said and continued to say. Here are other ways to translate this whole clause:

I have told you this (God’s Word)
-or-
I am telling you this (New Living Translation (2004))

you: This pronoun is plural and refers to the disciples.

while I am still with you: This clause implies that Jesus would soon go away. In some languages it is more natural to express this time as being before he went away. For example:

before I leave you
