John 14:23-31

23 Jesus answered him, ¹"If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ²we will come to him and ³make our home with him.

24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And ⁴the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

25 "These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.

26 But the ⁵Helper, the Holy Spirit, ⁶whom the Father will send in my name, ⁷he will teach you all things and ⁸bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

27 ⁹Peace I leave with you; ¹⁰my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ¹¹Let not your hearts be troubled, neither ¹²let them be afraid.

28 ¹³You heard me say to you, ¹⁴'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I ¹⁵am going to the Father, for ¹⁶the Father is greater than I.

29 And ¹⁷now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.

30 I will no longer talk much with you, for ¹⁸the ruler of this world is coming. ¹⁹He has no claim on me,

31 but I do ²⁰as the Father has commanded me, ²¹so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
