< John 14 >

1 “Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and, believe in 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.
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 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 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 You know the way to where I'm going.”
And whither I go, ye know; and the way ye know.
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. 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 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 truth, and life: no one cometh unto my Father, but by 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 ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father: and henceforth, ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
Philip said to him: Our Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice 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 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 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.
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 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, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me. And if not, believe, at least, on account of the works.
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.
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 I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through 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 Whatever you ask for 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, you will keep my commands.
If ye love me, keep my commands.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, (aiōn g165)
And I will ask of my Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (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 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 abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
I shall not leave you orphans: for I shall come to you in a little while.
19 Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
And the world will not see me; but ye will see me. Because I live, ye will live also.
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 ye will know, that I am in my Father; and that ye are 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.”
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 Iscariot) responded, “Lord, why would you 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 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: 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 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.
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'm explaining this to you while I'm still here with you.
These things have I said to you, while I was 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 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 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 as the world giveth, that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid.
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.
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've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
And now, lo, I have told you, before it occurreth; so that when it shall have occurred, ye 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,
Hereafter I shall not converse much with you; for the ruler of this world cometh, and hath 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.”
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.
