katapi HOME John 14:15-31 - The Promise of the Spirit  Jn.14.15-31 (Jerusalem)14 15 'If you love me you will obey my commands; 14 16 and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another to be your Advocate, who will be with you for ever - 14 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive him, because the world neither sees nor knows him; but you know is him, because he dwells with you and is in you. 14 18 I will not leave you bereft; I am coming back to you. 14 19 In a little while the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you too will live; 14 20 then you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me and I in you. 14 21 The man who has received my commands and obeys them - he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father; and I will love him and disclose myself to him.'
14 22 Judas asked him - the other Judas, not Iscariot - 'Lord, what can have happened, that you mean to disclose yourself to us alone and not to the world?' 14 23 Jesus replied, 'Anyone who loves me will heed what I say; then my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him; 14 24 but he who does not love me does not heed what I say. And the word you hear is not mine: it is the word of the Father who sent me.

14 25 I have told you all this while I am still here with you; 14 26 but your Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will call to mind all that I have told you.
14 27 'Peace is my parting gift to you, my own peace, such as the world cannot give. Set your troubled hearts at rest, and banish your fears. 14 28 You heard me say, "I am going away, and coming back to you." If you loved me you would have been glad to hear that I was going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 14 29 I have told you now, beforehand, so that when it happens you may have faith.
14 30 'I shall not talk much longer with you, for the Prince of this world approaches. He has no rights over me; 14 31 but the world must be shown that I love the Father, and do exactly as he commands; so up, let us go forward!
