John 14:13-31

13Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

15“If you love me, you will keep my commands.

16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.

17He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him. But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be in you.

18“I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.

20On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you.

21The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father. I also will love him and will reveal myself to him.”

22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it you’re going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

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

24The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.

25“I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you.

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

27“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.

28You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

29I have told you now before it happens so that when it does happen you may believe.

30I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over me.

31On the contrary, so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do as the Father commanded me. “Get up; let’s leave this place.
