John 14
1 “Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
“Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into me.
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 are many dwellings (otherwise I would have told you). I am going away 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 come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
4 You know the way to where I'm going.”
Now 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 says to Him, “Lord, we don't 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 says to him: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes 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, you would have known my Father as well; from now on you both know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, 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 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’?
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.
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.
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.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else, believe me because of the works themselves.
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.
“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.
13 I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
Further, whatever you (pl) may ask 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 ask anything in my name, I will do it!
15 If you love me, you will keep my commands.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
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)
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 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.
18 I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
19 Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live you also will 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 will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I 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.”
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.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) responded, “Lord, why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
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?”
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 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.
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.
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.
25 I'm explaining this to you while I'm still here with you.
“I have spoken these things to you while being 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
29 I've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does 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 no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is approaching; actually, he has nothing 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.”
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.
