26 Mas el Consolador, el Espíritu Santo, al cual el Padre enviará en mi nombre, él os enseñará todas las cosas, y os recordará todas las cosas que os he dicho.

27 La paz os dejo, mi paz os doy: no como el mundo [la] da, yo os [la] doy. No se turbe vuestro corazón, ni tenga miedo.

28 Habéis oído cómo yo os he dicho: Voy, y vengo á vosotros. Si me amaseis, ciertamente os gozaríais, porque he dicho que voy al Padre: porque el Padre mayor es que yo.

29 Y ahora os lo he dicho antes que se haga; para que cuando se hiciere, creáis.

30 Ya no hablaré mucho con vosotros: porque viene el príncipe de este mundo; mas no tiene nada en mí.
