John 14:23-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

23. Jesus responded and said to him: "If anyone loves me, he shall keep my word. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our dwelling place with him.

24. Whoever does not love me, does not keep my words. And the word that you have heard is not of me, but it is of the Father who sent me.

25. These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you.

26. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.

27. Peace I leave for you; my Peace I give to you. Not in the way that the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and let it not fear.

28. You have heard that I said to you: I am going away, and I am returning to you. If you loved me, certainly you would be gladdened, because I am going to the Father. For the Father is greater than I.

29. And now I have told you this, before it happens, so that, when it will happen, you may believe.

30. I will not now speak at length with you. For the prince of this world is coming, but he does not have anything in me.

31. Yet this is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I am acting according to the commandment that the Father has given to me. Rise up, let us go from here."
