19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.”

22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot) asked, “Lord, why are you about to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered, “Whoever loves me will keep my word. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Whoever doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word that you hear isn’t mine. It is the word of the Father who sent me.

25 “I have spoken these things to you while I am with you. 26 The Companion,[a] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you.

27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I give to you not as the world gives. Don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 You have heard me tell you, ‘I’m going away and returning to you.’ If you loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than me. 29 I have told you before it happens so that when it happens you will believe. 30 I won’t say much more to you because this world’s ruler is coming. He has nothing on me. 31 Rather, he comes so that the world will know that I love the Father and do just as the Father has commanded me. Get up. We’re leaving this place.

  1. John 14:26 Or Advocate

19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(A) Because I live, you also will live.(B) 20 On that day(C) you will realize that I am in my Father,(D) and you are in me, and I am in you.(E) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(F) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(G) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas(H) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(I)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(J) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(K) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(L)

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate,(M) the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,(N) will teach you all things(O) and will remind you of everything I have said to you.(P) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.(Q) I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled(R) and do not be afraid.

28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’(S) If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,(T) for the Father is greater than I.(U) 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.(V) 30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world(W) is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.(X)

“Come now; let us leave.
