“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘This is My Commandment: love one another as I Love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
* * *
This I Command you: love one another.”
“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘As the Father Loves Me, so I also Love you.
Remain in My Love.
If you keep My Commandments, you will remain in My Love,
just as I have kept My Father’s Commandments
and remain in His Love. ….”
“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vine Grower.
He takes away every branch in Me that does not Bear Fruit,
and everyone that does he prunes so that it Bears more Fruit.
You are already pruned because of the Word that I spoke to you. …”
“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘Peace I leave with you; My Peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
You heard me tell you,
“I am going away and I will come back to you.”
If you loved me,
you would rejoice that I am going to the Father …
… the world must know that I Love the Father
and that I do just as the Father has Commanded Me.”
“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘Whoever has My Commandments and observes them
is the one who loves Me.
Whoever loves Me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.’
… ‘Whoever loves Me will keep My Word,
and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and make Our Dwelling with him.
Whoever does not love me does not keep my words ….”
“Jesus said to His Disciples:
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in Me.
In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
… Do you not believe that I AM in the Father and the Father is in Me?
The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. …'”

“#Jesus said to His #Disciples:
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in Me.
In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? …'”
“When #Jesus had washed the disciples’ feet, He said to them:
‘Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master
nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.
If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.
… Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send
receives Me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent Me.”
“#Jesus cried out and said,
‘Whoever believes in Me believes not only in Me
but also in the One who sent Me,
and whoever sees Me sees the one who sent Me.
I came into the world as Light,
so that everyone who believes in Me might not remain in darkness.
… I did not Speak on My Own,
but the Father who Sent Me Commanded Me what to Say and Speak.
And I know that His Commandment is Eternal Life.
… what I say, I say as the Father Told Me.”
