< John 14 >

1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.
Let not your heart be troubled; believe on God, and believe on me.
2 In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
In my Father's house are many mansions. Were it otherwise, I would have told you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
I go to prepare a place for you: and after I shall have gone, and prepared a place for you; I will return and take you with me, that where I am, there you may be also.
4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
And whither I am going, you know, and the way you know.
5 “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
Thomas said to him, Master, we know not whither you are going. How, then, can we know the way?
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Jesus answered, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, but by me.
7 If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
Had you known me, you would have known my Father also; and henceforth you know him, 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, Master, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us.
9 Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesus replied, Have I been with you so long, and do you not yet know me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father. How do you say, then, Show us the Father?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you proceed not form myself: as to the works, it is the Father dwelling in me who does them.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.
Believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; if not on my testimony, be convinced by the works themselves.
12 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on me, shall himself do such works as I do; nay, even greater than these shall he do; because I go to my Father,
13 And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
and will do whatsoever you shall ask in my name. That the Father may be glorified in the Son,
14 If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.
whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do.
15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
If you love me, keep my commandments;
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— (aiōn g165)
and I will entreat the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to continue with you forever; (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.
even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can not receive, because it neither sees him, nor knows him; but you shall know him, because he will abide with you, and be in you.
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
I will not leave you forlorn; I will return to you.
19 In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.
Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more; but you shall see me; because I live, you also shall live.
20 On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
On that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me; and I in you.
21 Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”
He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me, will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him.
22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Master, wherefore will you manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?
23 Jesus replied, “If anyone 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 answering, said to him, If a man love me, he will observe my word; and my Father will love him; and we will come to him, and dwell with him.
24 Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.
He who loves me not, disregards my words; yet the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's, who sent me.
25 All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
I tell you these things, while I remain with you.
26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I have told you.
27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
Peace I leave you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Be not disheartened; be not intimidated.
28 You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
You have heard me say, I go away, and will return to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I go to the Father; because my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
This I tell you now, before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe.
30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.
I shall not, henceforth, have much conversation with you; for the prince of the world is coming, though he will find nothing in me;
31 But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
but this must be that the world may know that I love the Father, and do whatsoever he commands me. Arise, let us go hence.
