Jesus said someone will be sent after him -- he will leave so the Final Prophet or “Comforter” can come.

"But now I go my way to Him that sent me and none of you asketh me, 'Wither goest thou?' But because I have said these things unto you sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, for if I go not away, the [Last Prophet/Comforter] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and approve righteousness and judgement" ----- John 16:5-8

John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the coming of the Lord, contrasted his own work with that of the Lord when he said: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.” (Matt. 3:11.)

In the later Judean ministry, when Jesus taught at the temple in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Tabernacles, he declared, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38.)

And John the Beloved explained: “But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.” (John 7:39.)

About six months later, when the Lord taught the apostles after the Last Supper, he said:

“These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14:25–26.)
