Your minds must not be troubled or afraid. ²⁸ You have heard me say that I am going away and am coming back to you; if you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And I have told you of it now before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe in me. ³⁰ I shall not talk much more with you, for the evil genius of the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me, ³¹ but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what he has commanded me to do. Come, let us go away.
