John 14
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also.
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 there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for 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 return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.
4 You know where I go, and you know the way.”
And where I am going, you all know the way."
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
"Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know 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.
"I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through 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--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
"Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."
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’?
"Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you ask me, 'Cause us to 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.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe 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.
In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me--the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
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 ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth. (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.
That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your side and is in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
I will not leave you bereaved: 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.
Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am 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 commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to 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 the Iscariot) asked, "Master, how is it that you will reveal yourself clearly to us and not to 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.
"If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home 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 obey my teaching; and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine, but is the teaching of the Father who sent me.
25 “I have said these things to you while still living with you.
"All this I have spoken to you while 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 Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring to your memories all that 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.
Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.
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.
"You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I am.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass you may believe.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing;
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 it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going."
