John 14:21-31

New International Version

²¹ Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.^(A) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,^(B) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

²² Then Judas^(C) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”^(D)

²³ Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.^(E) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.^{(F) 24} Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.^(G)

²⁵ “All this I have spoken while still with you. ²⁶ But the Advocate,^(H) the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,^(I) will teach you all things^(J) and will remind you of everything I have said to you.^{(K) 27} Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.^(L) I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled^(M) and do not be afraid.

²⁸ “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’^(N) If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,^(O) for the Father is greater than I.^{(P) 29} I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.^{(Q) 30} I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world^(R) is coming. He has no hold over me, ³¹ but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.^(S)

“Come now; let us leave.
