John 14:23-31

23Jesus replied, ‘Everyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. And my Father and I will come to them and we will make our home with them.

24Anyone who does not love me will not obey my message. These words that you hear are not my own. No, they come from the Father, who sent me.

25I have said these things to you while I am still with you.

26But the Father will send the Holy Spirit to be with you. He will be your Helper. He will come in my name, and he will teach you all things. He will help you to remember everything that I have told you.

27I will go away but I will give you a gift of peace. It is mine to give and yours to keep. It is not like a gift that this world gives. Do not let yourselves be sad. Do not be afraid.

28You heard me say to you, “I will go away, but I will return to you.” If you loved me, you would be happy because of that. You would be happy because I will go to the Father. And he is greater than I am.

29I have told you this now, before it happens. So then, when it does happen, you will believe.

30I will not talk with you much more, because the ruler of this world will come soon. He has no power over me.

31But the people who belong to this world must learn about me. They must know that I love the Father. I do everything that he tells me to do. I must show that to them. Now get up, we must go from here.’
