27 " Peace 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 fearful .
28 " You heard that I said to you, 'I go away , and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father , for the Father is greater than I. 29 "Now I have told you before it happens , so that when it happens , you may believe . 30 "I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming , and he has nothing e in Me; 31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father , I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here .

Commentary on John 14:25-27
(Read John 14:25-27)
Would we know these things for our good, we must pray for, and depend on the teaching of the Holy Ghost; thus the words of Jesus will be brought to our remembrance, and many difficulties be cleared up which are not plain to others. To all the saints, the Spirit of grace is given to be a remembrancer, and to him, by faith and prayer, we should commit the keeping of what we hear and know. Peace is put for all good, and Christ has left us all that is really and truly good, all the promised good; peace of mind from our justification before God. This Christ calls his peace, for he is himself our Peace. The peace of God widely differs from that of Pharisees or hypocrites, as is shown by its humbling and holy effects.
Commentary on John 14:28-31
(Read John 14:28-31)
Christ raises the expectations of his disciples to something beyond what they thought was their greatest happiness. His time was now short, he therefore spake largely to them. When we come to be sick, and to die, we may not be capable of talking much to those about us; such good counsel as we have to give, let us give while in health. Observe the prospect Christ had of an approaching conflict, not only with men, but with the powers of darkness. Satan has something in us to perplex us with, for we have all sinned; but when he would disturb Christ, he found nothing sinful to help him. The best evidence of our love to the Father is, our doing as he has commanded us. Let us rejoice in the Saviour's victories over Satan the prince of this world. Let us copy the example of his love and obedience.
