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.

  1. 14:30 Lit He has nothing in me

27 I’m leaving you at peace. I’m giving you my own peace. I’m not giving it to you as the world gives. So don’t let your hearts be troubled, and don’t be afraid. 28 You have heard me tell you, ‘I’m going away, but I’m coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I’m going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am. 29 I’ve told you this now, before I leave, so that when I do leave, you will believe. 30 I won’t talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.[a] 31 But I’m doing what the Father has commanded me, to let the world know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us leave this place.”
