John 14:24-31 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

24. But anyone who does not love me does not obey my teaching. This teaching 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 with you.

26. But the Helper will teach you everything and cause you to remember all that I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name.

27. “I leave you peace. It is my own peace I give you. I give you peace in a different way than the world does. So don’t be troubled. Don’t be afraid.

28. You heard me say to you, ‘I am leaving, but I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be happy that I am going back to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

29. I have told you this now, before it happens. Then when it happens, you will believe.

30. “I will not talk with you much longer. The ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

31. But the world must know that I love the Father. So I do exactly what the Father told me to do. “Come now, let’s go.”
