📚 Historical Context

In the Gospel of John, Jesus is speaking to his disciples during the Last Supper, shortly before his arrest and crucifixion, as he prepares them for his physical departure from the world. He is offering words of comfort to ease their fear and confusion about being left alone after his death. This promise is embedded in his broader teaching on the Holy Spirit, who would come to dwell with believers after Jesus' resurrection.
