Bonus episode — Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled — John 14–17

Settle in for a peaceful reading of John chapters 14 through 17 from the King James Version of the Bible.

Spoken on the night before his crucifixion, these chapters contain some of the most comforting words Jesus gave to his disciples. He reassures troubled hearts, promises the coming of the Comforter, invites his followers to abide in him, and speaks of a peace that the world cannot give.

The reading concludes with the beautiful prayer of Jesus in John chapter 17, where he prays for his disciples and for all who would later believe through their testimony.

Let the gentle words of Scripture, soothing music, and restful atmosphere help you quiet your thoughts and rest in the assurance of Christ’s love.
