John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God; believe also in me.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
In my Father’s Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you with myself, that where I am, you may be also.
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas; “so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me.
Jesus answered: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from this time you know him, and have seen him.
If you had recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be content.
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we shall be satisfied.”
9 Jesus said to him: Have I been so long with you, and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father?
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. The Father who dwells in me, he does the works.
Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.
11 Believe me, that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me. If not, believe me on account of the works themselves.
Believe me,” he said to them all, “when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.
12 Verily, verily I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he also shall do. Even greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father;
In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 and whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
14 If you ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments;
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete, that he may dwell with you forever; (aiōn g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of the truth, whom the world can not receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, because he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you shall see me. Because I live, you also shall live.
In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
20 In that clay you shall know that I am in my Father, arid you in me, and I in you.
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
22 Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him: If any one loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
“Whoever loves me,” Jesus answered, “will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
24 He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.
25 These things have I spoken to you, while I am yet with you.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I have spoken to you.
but the Helper — the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name — he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, and let it not be afraid.
Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
28 You have heard that I said to you, I am going away, and am coming again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I go to the Father; for my Father is greater than I.
You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.
And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 I will not talk much more with you; for the prince of this world is coming, and has nothing in me.
I shall not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
31 But this takes place that the world may know that I love the Father, and even as he gave me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
but he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
