JOHN 14:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.”
But I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us be on our way — Jesus' final act of obedience is his crucifixion; in dying for the world, he obeys the Father and simultaneously manifests his love for the Father. The command "Rise, let us be on our way" indicates the movement toward the Passover meal's end and the journey to Gethsemane; the discourse continues through chapters 15 and 16, but this verse marks a thematic closing of chapter 14.
