John 14:19-27 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

19. In a little while the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live, too.

20. On that day you will know that I am in my Father. You will know that you are in me and I am in you.

21. He who knows my commands and obeys them is the one who loves me. And my Father will love him who loves me. I will love him and will show myself to him.”

22. Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you plan to show yourself to us, but not to the world?”

23. Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, then he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

24. He 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. He will cause you to remember all the things I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name.

27. “I leave you peace. My peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don’t let your hearts be troubled. Don’t be afraid.
