John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also.
2 In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go 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 shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.
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 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
And where I am going, you all know the way."
5 Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and 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 saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by 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 without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you 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 saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for us.
"Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."
9 Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, Shew 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 in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the 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 you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
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 Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do.
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 Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: 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 shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever. (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, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him; because he shall abide with you, and shall 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 orphans, I will come to you.
I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you.
19 Yet a little while: and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall 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 In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I 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 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest 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 saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself 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 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 will make our abode 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 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard, is not mine; but the Father’s 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 These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you.
"All this I have spoken to you while still with you.
26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to 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 unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it 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 have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for 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 comes to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may 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 now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not any thing.
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 that the world may know, that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I: Arise, let us go hence.
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."
