John 14:23-31 ▼

23 Jesus answered him, |If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him.

24 The one who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The words that you're hearing me say are not mine, but come from the Father who sent me.

25 |I have told you this while I am still with you.

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have told you.

27 I'm leaving you at peace. I'm giving you my own peace. I'm not giving it to you as the world gives. So don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be afraid.

28 You have heard me tell you, 'I'm going away, but I'm coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I'm going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

29 I've told you this now, before I leave, so that when I do leave, you will believe.

30 I won't talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

31 But I'm doing what the Father has commanded me, to let the world know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us leave this place.|
