Jesus’ 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. Your heart must not 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 have rejoiced 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, I am going away[b] so that the world may know that I love the Father. Just as the Father commanded Me, so I do.
