"Peace is what I leav^jjjffyou; it isttty own peace that I give you. Ido not give it as the world does. Do rtot be worried ond upset; do not be afraid. You heard me say to you, I am leaving, but I will come back to you. If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Fati^jjMr he is greater than I. I have told you this now before it all happens, so that tMJ|-it does happen, you will believe. I cannot talk with you much longer, because the ruler ofthis world is coming. He has no power over me, but the world must know that I love the Father; that is why Ido everything as he commands me.
