Jesus answered him, 'If someone really loves me, they'll actually follow what I say. And my Father will love them too — we'll both come and make ourselves at home with them.'

So they asked him, 'Where's your Father?' Jesus replied, 'You don't know me, and you don't know my Father either. If you actually knew me, you'd know my Father too.'

You heard me say I'm leaving, but I'm coming back to you. If you really loved me, you'd actually be happy about this because I'm going to be with my Father — and he's greater than I am.
