New International Reader's Version

John 14:24-30 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

24. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. The words you hear me say are not my own. They belong to the Father who sent me.

25. "I have spoken all these things while I am still with you.

26. But the Father will send the Friend in my name to help you. The Friend is the Holy Spirit. He will teach you all things. He will remind you of everything I have said to you.

27. "I leave my peace with you. I give my peace to you. I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be troubled. And do not be afraid.

28. "You heard me say, 'I am going away. And I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad I am going to the Father. The Father is greater than I am.

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

30. "I will not speak with you much longer. The prince of this world is coming. He has no power over me.
