John 14:27-31
Amplified Bible
27 Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] 28 You heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you [really] loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going [back] to the Father, for [a]the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does take place, you may believe and have faith [in Me]. 30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of the world (Satan) is coming. And he has no claim on Me [no power over Me nor anything that he can use against Me]; 31 but so that the world may know [without any doubt] that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father has commanded Me [and act in full agreement with Him]. Get up, let us go from here.

John 14:27-31
New American Standard Bible
27 (A)Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. (B)[a]Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor [b]fearful. 28 (C)You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and (D)I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced [c]because (E)I am going to the Father, for (F)the Father is greater than I. 29 And now (G)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will not speak much more with you, for (H)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has [d]nothing in regard to Me, 31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father, [e]I do exactly as (I)the Father commanded Me. Get up, (J)let’s go from here.
