Jesus prayed for the Holy Spirit to be sent to teach us:
John 14:16 NASB95 – “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
John 14:26 NASB95 – “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 said to you.
