< John 14 >

1 “Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into me.
Let not your heart be troubled; believe on God, and believe on me.
2 In my Father's house are many dwellings (otherwise I would have told you). I am going away 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 again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
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 Now you know where I am going, and you know the way.”
And whither I am going, you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we don't 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 says to him: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes 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 have known my Father as well; from now on you both 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 says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
Philip said to him, Master, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us.
9 Jesus says to him: “Such a long time I have been with you, and you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; so 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 Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own; rather it is the Father who dwells in me who does the 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 else, believe me because 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 “Most assuredly I say to you, the one believing into me, he too will do the works that I do; in fact he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my 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 Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, 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 anything in my name, I will do it!
whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
If you love me, keep my commandments;
16 Also, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Enabler, so that He may stay with you throughout the age (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 the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you do know Him, because He is staying 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 orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
I will not leave you forlorn; I will return to you.
19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, 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 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
On that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me; and I in you.
21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves me. Now 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 the Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, just how is it that You are 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 answered and said to him: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word. So 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 The one who does not love me does not keep my words; further, the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's 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 “I have spoken these things to you while being with you.
I tell you these things, while I remain with you.
26 But the Enabler, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and remind you of everything I said to 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; it is not like the world gives that I give to you. Do not let your heart be distressed or intimidated.
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 to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ because my 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 I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
This I tell you now, before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe.
30 “I will no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is approaching; actually, he has nothing in 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 Rather, I habitually do just as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. “Get up, let us leave 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.
