John 14
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also.
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 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 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 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 the way to the place where I am going.”
And where I am going, you all know the way."
5 “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so 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 answered, “I am the way and 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 know My Father as well. From now on you do 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 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 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 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 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 is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.
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 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 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 And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so 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 ask Me for 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, you will keep My commandments.
"If you love me, you will obey 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 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. 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.
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 as orphans; I will come to you.
I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming 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 will see me no more, but you will 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.
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 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 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) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going 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 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.
"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 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 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 All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
"All this I have spoken to you 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 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. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
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 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 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 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass 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.
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 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 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."
