John 14:21-31

21 ¹Whoever has my commandments and ²keeps them, he it is who loves me. And ³he who loves me ⁴will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ⁵manifest myself to him. ”

22 ⁶Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ⁷that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? ”

23 Jesus answered him, ⁸“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ⁹we will come to him and ¹⁰make our home with him.

24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And ¹¹the 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 ¹²Helper, the Holy Spirit, ¹³whom the Father will send in my name, ¹⁴he will teach you all things and ¹⁵bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

27 ¹⁶Peace I leave with you; ¹⁷my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ¹⁸Let not your hearts be troubled, neither ¹⁹let them be afraid.

28 ²⁰You heard me say to you, ²¹‘I am going away, and I will come to you. ’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I ²²am going to the Father, for ²³the Father is greater than I.

29 And ²⁴now 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 ²⁵the ruler of this world is coming. ²⁶He has no claim on me,

31 but I do ²⁷as the Father has commanded me, ²⁸so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
