In the gospels, Jesus sometimes refers to the Holy Spirit as the Helper, or the Comforter. He tells the apostles that he will send it to them after he is gone. More specifically, he tells them that he will “ask the Father” to send it to them. This statement of his occurs in a conversation that follows the Last Supper, before they all go out across the Kidron Valley, to the Garden of Gethsemane, the night he is arrested.
