Promise of the Holy Spirit and Peace

John 14:15-31
15If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask the father, and he will give you another counsellor, so that he may be with you toward the age. 17The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him. You know him, because he stays beside you and will be in you. 18I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you. 19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. 20On that day you will know that I am in my father and you in me and I in you. 21Whoever has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my father, and I will love him and show myself to him. 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?" 23Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my father will love him, and we will come to him and make an abode with him." 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but belongs to the father who sent me. 25I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26The counsellor, the holy spirit whom the father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and will remind you of all that I said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be timid. 28You heard me say to you, 'I am going away and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the father, because the father is greater than I. 29I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe. 30I will not speak much longer with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in me. 31But this happens so that the world may know that I love the father and that I do exactly what the father has commanded me. Rise, let us go from here.
