John 14:23-27

Expanded Bible

²³ Jesus answered, “If people love me, they will ·obey my teaching [^Lkeep my word]. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. ²⁴ Those who do not love me do not ·obey my teaching [^Lkeep my words]. This ·teaching [word] that you hear is not really mine; it is from my Father, who sent me.

²⁵ “I have told you all these things while I ·am [remain; abide] with you. ²⁶ But the ·Helper [Counselor; Advocate; see 14:15] will teach you ·everything [all things] and will ·cause you to remember [remind you of] all that I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name.

²⁷ “I leave you peace [^Cthe Greek word for “peace” reflects the Hebrew shalom, a typical Hebrew farewell; but Jesus’ peace, in the sense of wholeness, is also a characteristic of the messianic kingdom]; my peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don’t let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
