Jesus’s Gift of Peace

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.^{(G) 28} You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away^(H) and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father,^(I) because the Father is greater than I.^{(J) 29} I have told you now before it happens^(K) so that when it does happen you may believe.
