John 14:23-29

Good News Translation

²³ Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with them. ²⁴ Those who do not love me do not obey my teaching. And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me.

²⁵ “I have told you this while I am still with you. ²⁶ The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.

²⁷ “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid. ²⁸ You heard me say to you, ‘I am leaving, but I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I. ²⁹ I have told you this now before it all happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
