John 14
1 “Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
2 In my Father's house there are many rooms. If this wasn't so I would have told you. I'm going to prepare a place for you.
In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.
3 Once I've gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you back with me, so that you can be there with me too.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
4 You know the way to where I'm going.”
And you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. How can we know the way?”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus replied, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, 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 you have seen him.”
If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you such a long time, Philip, and yet you still don't know me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
10 Don't you believe that I live in the Father and the Father lives in me? The words I speak are not mine; it's the Father living in me who is doing his work.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
11 Believe me when I tell you that I live in the Father, and the Father lives in me, or at least believe because of the evidence provided by all that I've done.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
12 I tell you the truth, anyone who trusts in me will do the same things I am doing. In fact they will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.
Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
13 I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commands.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give another Advocate to you, so that he may abide with you for eternity: (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, who will always be with you. The world cannot accept him because it isn't looking for him and does not know him. But you know him because he lives with you and will be in you.
the Spirit of Truth, whom the world is not able to accept, because it neither perceives him nor knows him. But you shall know him. For he will remain with you, and he will be in you.
18 I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
I will not leave you orphans. I will return to you.
19 Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
Yet a little while and the world will not see me any longer. But you will see me. For I live, and you shall live.
20 On that day you will know that I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.
In that day, you shall know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
21 Those who keep my commands are the ones who love me, those who love me will be loved by my Father. I will love them too, and will reveal myself to them.”
Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them: it is he who loves me. And whoever loves me shall be loved by my Father. And I will love him, and I will manifest myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) responded, “Lord, why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him: “Lord, how does it happen that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus replied, “Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.
Jesus responded and said to him: “If anyone loves me, he shall keep my word. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our dwelling place with him.
24 Those who don't love me don't do what I say. These words don't come from me, they come from the Father who sent me.
Whoever does not love me, does not keep not my words. And the word that you have heard is not of me, but it is of the Father who sent me.
25 I'm explaining this to you while I'm still here with you.
These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you.
26 But when the Father sends the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, in my place, he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave you; my peace I'm giving you. The peace I give you is nothing like what the world gives. Don't let your minds be anxious, and don't be afraid.
Peace I leave for you; my Peace I give to you. Not in the way that the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and let it not fear.
28 You've heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, but I will come back to you.’ If you really loved me, you would be happy because I'm going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
You have heard that I said to you: I am going away, and I am returning to you. If you loved me, certainly you would be gladdened, because I am going to the Father. For the Father is greater than I.
29 I've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
And now I have told you this, before it happens, so that, when it will happen, you may believe.
30 I can't talk to you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no power to control me,
I will not now speak at length with you. For the prince of this world is coming, but he does not have anything in me.
31 but I'm doing what my Father told me to do so that the world will know that I love the Father. Now get up. Let's go.”
Yet this is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I am acting according to the commandment that the Father has given to me. Rise up, let us go from here.”
