In the New Testament, Chapters 14-17 of the Gospel of John are known as the Farewell Discourse given by Jesus to eleven of his disciples immediately after the conclusion of the Last Supper in Jerusalem, the night before his crucifixion.
He lets them know they will have a special guidance from the Holy Spirit and to Love one another. The New Commandment: "love one another as I have loved you" is presented to them.
We know from other books and chapters that every Christian receives guidance from the Holy Spirit and are required to love others.
The question is: does the Farewell Discourse pertain directly to us or was it just for the disciples?
