John 14
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in 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 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 back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so 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 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 one ever comes to the Father except through 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.”
If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we will be satisfied.”
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’?
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? The person 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 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.
Don’t 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 the Father is in Me—or at least believe 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 because of the work itself.
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.
In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me will themselves do the work that I am doing; and they will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honored in the Son.
14 If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.
If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be 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 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.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognize him, but you recognize him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come 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.
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 On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with 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.”
It is they who have my commands and lays them to heart who loves me; and the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them, and will reveal myself to them.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself 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 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.
“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 home 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.
The person 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 comes from the Father who sent me.
25 All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
I have told you all this while still 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 helper – the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name – will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to 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 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 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 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 happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
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 will 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 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 he is coming so that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
