Jesus Final Teachings - Part 2
John 14:15-31 NLT
15 “If you love me, obey[d] my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[e] who will never leave you. 17 He
is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive
him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you
know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.[f] 18 No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. 19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. 20 When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Those
who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And
because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and
reveal myself to each of them.”
22 Judas
(not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to
him, “Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to
the world at large?”
23 Jesus
replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them,
and we will come and make our home with each of them. 24 Anyone
who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my
own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me. 25 I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. 26 But
when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the
Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of
everything I have told you.
27 “I
am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I
give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 Remember
what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If
you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father,
who is greater than I am.29 I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.
30 “I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me, 31 but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father. Come, let’s be going.
John 15:18-25 NLT
18 “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 The
world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you
are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world,
so it hates you. 20 Do
you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’
Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if
they had listened to me, they would listen to you. 21 They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. 22 They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. 24 If
I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could
do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I
did, yet they still hate me and my Father. 25 This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures[a]: ‘They hated me without cause.’
