12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. | I was wondering if you could tell me who this "helper" is? and the spirit of truth? is Jesus talking about the Holy Spirit?

The descriptions Christ gives here in this passage are all attributed elsewhere to the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
