John 14
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?
3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.
4 You know where I go, and you know the way.”
And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?
10 Do not you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.
12 Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.
14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you in this age (aiōn g165):
And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, for it does not see him and does not know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.
21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?
23 Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.
24 He who does not love me does not keep my words. The word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.
25 “I have said these things to you while still living with you.
I have said all this to you while I am still with you.
26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
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 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
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 You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.
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 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
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 that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
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.
