The Promise of the Holy Spirit
John
14:15-31
Good News
Translation (GNT)
18 “When I go, you will not be left all alone; I will come back to you. 19 In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will see me; and because I live, you also will live. 20 When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me, just as I am in you.
21 “Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the
ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them
and reveal myself to them.”
22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “Lord, how can it be
that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will obey my
teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and
live with them. 24 Those who do not love me do not obey my teaching. And the
teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me.
25 “I have told you this while I am still with you. 26 The
Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you
everything and make you remember all that I have told you.
27 “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that
I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do
not 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 glad that I am going to the Father; for
he is greater than I. 29 I have told you this now before it all happens, so
that when it does happen, you will believe. 30 I cannot talk with you much
longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me, 31
but the world must know that I love the Father; that is why I do everything as
he commands me.
“Come, let us go from this place.
