¹⁵“If you love me, keep my commands.^o ¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate^p to help you and be with you forever—¹⁷the Spirit of truth.^q The world cannot accept him,^r because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be^c in you. ¹⁸I will not leave you as orphans;^s I will come to you.^t ¹⁹Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.^u Because I live, you also will live.^v ²⁰On that day^w you will realize that I am in my Father,^x and you are in me, and I am in you.^y ²¹Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.^z The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,^a and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

²²Then Judas^b (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”^c

²³Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.^d My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.^e ²⁴Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.^f

²⁵“All this I have spoken while still with you. ²⁶But the Advocate,^g the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,^h will teach you all thingsⁱ and will remind you of everything I have said to you.^j ²⁷Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.^k I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled^l and do not be afraid.

²⁸“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’^m If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,ⁿ for the Father is greater than I.^o ²⁹I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.^p ³⁰I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world^q is coming. He has no hold over me, ³¹but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.^r

“Come now; let us leave.
