John 14:25-31 MWT
(25) "These things I have spoken to you while I was dwelling with you.
(26) "But the Counselor [or, Helper], the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that One will teach you all things, and will cause you to remember all the things I said to you.
(27) "I leave to you peace. My peace I give to you. I give you peace the world does not know and cannot give. Stop letting your heart be troubled, and stop being afraid.
(28) "You remember that I said to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming back to you.' If you truly love me, you would rejoice because I said 'I am going to the Father,' because my Father is greater than I am.
(29) "And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you can believe and have confidence in me. [Jesus was explaining he was about to die.]
(30) "I will no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is coming, but he has no power over me.
(31) "Because it is my Father that I obey, so the world will know that I love the Father, and just as the Father commanded me, so I am doing. Get up now, it is time for us to be going from here.
John 14:25-31 CEV
(25) I have told you these things while I am still with you.
(26) But the Holy Spirit will come and help you, because the Father will send the Spirit to take my place. The Spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said while I was with you.
(27) I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give. It isn't like the peace that this world can give. So don't be worried or afraid.
(28) You have already heard me say that I am going and that I will also come back to you. If you really love me, you should be glad that I am going back to the Father, because he is greater than I am.
(29) I am telling you this before I leave, so that when it does happen, you will have faith in me.
(30) I cannot speak with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. But he has no power over me.
(31) I obey my Father, so that everyone in the world might know that I love him. It is time for us to go now.
John 14:25-31 BBE
(25) I have said all this to you while I am still with you.
(26) But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.
(27) May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.
(28) Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
(29) And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.
(30) After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;
(31) But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
