John 14:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 [a]Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor fear.
28 [b]Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and will come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would verily rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for the Father [c]is greater than I.
29 And now have I spoken unto you, before it come, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
