In context
25 These things, have I spoken unto you, With you abiding;
26 But, the Advocate, The Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He, will teach you all things, and will put you in mind, of all things which, I, told you.
27 Peace, I leave with you, My own peace, give, I, unto you,—Not as, the world, giveth, give, I, unto you:—Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye heard that, I, said unto you—I go my way, and I come unto you,—Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the Father, is, greater than I.
29 But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe.
30 No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing,—
31 But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do. Be rousing yourselves! let us be leading on from hence.
