¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ In a little while the world will no longer see me,^(F) but you will see me.^(G) Because I live, you will live^(H) too. ²⁰ On that day you will know that I am in my Father,^(I) you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹ The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.^(J) And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father.^(K) I also will love him and will reveal myself to him.”

²² Judas^(L) (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it you’re going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” ^(M)
