< 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 in God, and, believe in 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.
There are many mansions in the house of my Father: and if not, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for 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.
And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 Now you know where I am going, and you know the way.”
And whither I go, ye know; and the way ye 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: Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how 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 said to him: I am the way, and truth, and life: no one cometh unto my 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.”
If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father: and henceforth, ye 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: Our Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice for 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 said to him: Have I been all this time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He that seeth me, seeth the Father: and how sayest thou, 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.
Believest thou not, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? And the words which I speak, I speak not from myself: but my Father, who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works.
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, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me. And if not, believe, at least, on account of the works.
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.
Verily, verily, I say to you: He that believeth in me, the works which I do, will he also do. And greater than these will he do, because I go unto 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 what ye shall ask in my name, I will do for you; that the Father may be glorified in his Son.
14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do it!
And if ye shall ask of me, in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
If ye love me, keep my commands.
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 )
And I will ask of my Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn )
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.
the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, and knoweth him not: but ye know him, because he abideth with you, and is in you.
18 “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
I shall not leave you orphans: for I shall come to you in a little while.
19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live you also will live.
And the world will not see me; but ye will see me. Because I live, ye will live also.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
In that day ye will know, that I am in my Father; and that ye are 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, with whom are my commands, and who keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, will be loved by my Father: and I will love him, and will 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: My Lord, how is it that thou art to manifest thyself 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 answered, and said to him: He that loveth me, observeth my instruction; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode 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.
But he that loveth me not, observeth not my instruction. And the instruction which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 “I have spoken these things to you while being with you.
These things have I said to you, while I was 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 Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you every thing, and will remind you of all that I say to 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 with you; my peace I give to you. It is not as the world giveth, that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid.
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.
Ye have heard what I said to you that I go away, and come again to you. If ye had loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I
29 I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
And now, lo, I have told you, before it occurreth; so that when it shall have occurred, ye 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.
Hereafter I shall not converse much with you; for the ruler of this world cometh, and hath 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 that the world may know, that I love my Father, and as my Father commanded me, so I do. Arise; let us go hence.
