He explained to them why he was about to leave them he promised them that he would return he assured them that the Holy Spirit would come to comfort, teach, and guide them. He had exhorted them not to be troubled John 14:1, and he had stated reasons why they should not be.

In a few hours ye will be most powerfully assaulted but stand firm: - the evil will only fall upon me and this evil will result in your comfort and salvation, and in the redemption of a lost world.

And such blessedness I bequeath unto you: it is my last, my best, my dying legacy. A wish of peace among them is thus to be understood: May you prosper in body and soul, and enjoy every earthly and heavenly good! For the meaning of this word, see Matthew 5:9.
