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.^{(A) 28} You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away^(B) and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father,^(C) because the Father is greater than I.^{(D) 29} I have told you now before it happens^(E) so that when it does happen you may believe. ³⁰ I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world^(F) is coming. He has no power over me.^{[a](G) 31} On the contrary, so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do as the Father commanded me.

“Get up; let’s leave this place.
