John 14:18-24

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁸ `I will not leave you without someone to help you. And I myself will come back to you.

¹⁹ In a short time the world will not see me again, but you will see me again. Because I live, you will live also.

²⁰ At that time you will know that I am in my Father. You are in me, and I am in you.

²¹ `He who knows the things I tell him to do and does them, really loves me. My Father will love him and I also will love him. I will show him who I am.'

²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to Jesus, `Lord, how are you going to make yourself real to us, and not to the rest of the world?'

²³ Jesus said to him, `If a person loves me, he will obey me. My Father also will love him. And we will come to him and will live with him.

²⁴ The person who does not love me does not obey me. The word which you hear is not my word. It is my Father's word. He is the one who sent me.
