< John 14 >

1 Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.
2 In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;
In my Father’s house there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went to prepare a place for you?
3 and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be.
I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.
4 And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.
And the way is known to you all, where I am going."
5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?
"We do not know where you are going Lord," said Thomas, "so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.
Jesus answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever comes to the Father but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him.
If you had known me, you would have known my Father too; from now on you know him and have seen him."
8 Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us.
"Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied."
9 Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
"Have I been so long among you, and yet you, Philip, have you not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Cause us to see the Father’?
10 Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works.
"Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself; but the Father, who ever dwells in me, is doing his own work.
11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves.
"Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very words’ sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father.
"I tell you solemnly that he who trusts in me shall himself do the works that I am doing; and still greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
"And whatever’ you ask in my name I will do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
"If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
"If you love me, you will obey my commandments,
16 And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
"and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you.
"the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot receive him because it does not see him nor know him, but you know him, for he is ever with you and within you.
18 I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you.
"I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live.
"Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.
20 In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
"At that day you shall understand that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but 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 obeys them that loves me; and he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him."
22 Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world?
"How is it, Lord," said Judas (not Iscariot) "that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?"
23 Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him.
Jesus replied."If any loves me he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has sent me.
"He that loves me not does not obey words, and yet the words to which you are listening are not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 These things I have said to you, abiding with you;
"All this I told you while still with you.
26 but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you.
"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance everything that I have told you.
27 I leave peace with you; I give my peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it fear.
"Peace I leave with you. My own peace I give to you. It is not the world’s ‘Peace’ I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for [my] Father is greater than I.
"You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad because I said ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it shall have come to pass ye may believe.
"And now I tell you this before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world comes, and in me he has nothing;
"I shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.
31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go hence.
"He has nothing in me, but in his coming the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do just as the Father commanded. Rise, let us be going!"
