< John 14 >

1 “Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
Μὴ ταρασσέσθω ὑμῶν ἡ καρδία· πιστεύετε εἰς τὸν ˚Θεόν, καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ πιστεύετε.
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.
Ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ Πατρός μου, μοναὶ πολλαί εἰσιν· εἰ δὲ μή, εἶπον ἂν ὑμῖν, ὅτι πορεύομαι ἑτοιμάσαι τόπον ὑμῖν.
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.
Καὶ ἐὰν πορευθῶ καὶ ἑτοιμάσω ὑμῖν τόπον πάλιν ἔρχομαι καὶ παραλήμψομαι ὑμᾶς πρὸς ἐμαυτόν, ἵνα ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἦτε.
4 You know the way to where I'm going.”
Καὶ ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω οἴδατε, τὴν ὁδόν.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. How can we know the way?”
Λέγει αὐτῷ Θωμᾶς, “˚Κύριε, οὐκ οἴδαμεν ποῦ ὑπάγεις· πῶς δυνάμεθα τὴν ὁδὸν εἰδέναι;”
6 Jesus replied, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Λέγει αὐτῷ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ὁδὸς, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια, καὶ ἡ ζωή. Οὐδεὶς ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα, εἰ μὴ διʼ ἐμοῦ.
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.”
Εἰ ἐγνώκειτέ με, καὶ τὸν Πατέρα μου γνώσεσθε, καὶ ἀπʼ ἄρτι γινώσκετε αὐτὸν καὶ ἑωράκατε αὐτόν.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ Φίλιππος, “˚Κύριε, δεῖξον ἡμῖν τὸν Πατέρα, καὶ ἀρκεῖ ἡμῖν.”
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’?
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τοσοῦτον χρόνον μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωκάς με, Φίλιππε; Ὁ ἑωρακὼς ἐμὲ, ἑώρακεν τὸν Πατέρα· πῶς σὺ λέγεις, ‘Δεῖξον ἡμῖν τὸν Πατέρα’;
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.
Οὐ πιστεύεις ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρὶ, καὶ ὁ Πατὴρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστιν; Τὰ ῥήματα ἃ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐ λαλῶ, ὁ δὲ Πατὴρ ἐν ἐμοὶ μένων, ποιεῖ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.
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.
Πιστεύετέ μοι ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρὶ, καὶ ὁ Πατὴρ ἐν ἐμοί· εἰ δὲ μή, διὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτὰ πιστεύετε.
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.
Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ, τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ, κἀκεῖνος ποιήσει, καὶ μείζονα τούτων ποιήσει, ὅτι ἐγὼ πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα πορεύομαι.
13 I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
Καὶ ὅ τι ἂν αἰτήσητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, τοῦτο ποιήσω, ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ Πατὴρ ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ.
14 Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
Ἐάν τι αἰτήσητέ με ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, τοῦτο ποιήσω.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commands.
Ἐὰν ἀγαπᾶτέ με, τὰς ἐντολὰς τὰς ἐμὰς τηρήσετε.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, (aiōn g165)
Κἀγὼ ἐρωτήσω τὸν Πατέρα, καὶ ἄλλον Παράκλητον δώσει ὑμῖν, ἵνα μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ᾖ (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.
τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας, ὃ ὁ κόσμος οὐ δύναται λαβεῖν, ὅτι οὐ θεωρεῖ αὐτὸ οὐδὲ γινώσκει. Ὑμεῖς γινώσκετε αὐτό, ὅτι παρʼ ὑμῖν μένει, καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστίν.
18 I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
Οὐκ ἀφήσω ὑμᾶς ὀρφανούς, ἔρχομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
19 Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
Ἔτι μικρὸν καὶ ὁ κόσμος με οὐκέτι θεωρεῖ, ὑμεῖς δὲ θεωρεῖτέ με, ὅτι ἐγὼ ζῶ, καὶ ὑμεῖς ζήσεσθε.
20 On that day you will know that I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.
Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὑμεῖς γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρί μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐν ἐμοὶ, κἀγὼ ἐν ὑμῖν.
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.”
Ὁ ἔχων τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τηρῶν αὐτὰς, ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν ὁ ἀγαπῶν με· ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν με, ἀγαπηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ Πατρός μου, κἀγὼ ἀγαπήσω αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐμφανίσω αὐτῷ ἐμαυτόν.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) responded, “Lord, why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
Λέγει αὐτῷ Ἰούδας, οὐχ ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης, “˚Κύριε, τί γέγονεν, ὅτι ἡμῖν μέλλεις ἐμφανίζειν σεαυτὸν, καὶ οὐχὶ τῷ κόσμῳ;”
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.
Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἐάν τις ἀγαπᾷ με, τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσει, καὶ ὁ Πατήρ μου ἀγαπήσει αὐτόν, καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐλευσόμεθα, καὶ μονὴν παρʼ αὐτῷ ποιησόμεθα.
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.
Ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν με, τοὺς λόγους μου οὐ τηρεῖ· καὶ ὁ λόγος ὃν ἀκούετε, οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὸς, ἀλλὰ τοῦ πέμψαντός με Πατρός.
25 I'm explaining this to you while I'm still here with you.
Ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν παρʼ ὑμῖν μένων.
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.
Ὁ δὲ Παράκλητος, τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, ὃ πέμψει ὁ Πατὴρ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐκεῖνος ὑμᾶς διδάξει πάντα, καὶ ὑπομνήσει ὑμᾶς πάντα ἃ εἶπον ὑμῖν.
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.
Εἰρήνην ἀφίημι ὑμῖν, εἰρήνην τὴν ἐμὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν· οὐ καθὼς ὁ κόσμος δίδωσιν, ἐγὼ δίδωμι ὑμῖν. Μὴ ταρασσέσθω ὑμῶν ἡ καρδία, μηδὲ δειλιάτω.
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.
Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν, ‘Ὑπάγω καὶ ἔρχομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς.’ Εἰ ἠγαπᾶτέ με, ἐχάρητε ἄν ὅτι πορεύομαι πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα, μου ὅτι ὁ Πατὴρ μείζων μού ἐστιν.
29 I've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
Καὶ νῦν εἴρηκα ὑμῖν πρὶν γενέσθαι, ἵνα ὅταν γένηται, πιστεύσητε.
30 I can't talk to you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no power to control me,
Οὐκέτι πολλὰ λαλήσω μεθʼ ὑμῶν, ἔρχεται γὰρ ὁ τοῦ κόσμου ἄρχων, καὶ ἐν ἐμοὶ οὐκ ἔχει οὐδέν,
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.”
ἀλλʼ ἵνα γνῷ ὁ κόσμος ὅτι ἀγαπῶ τὸν Πατέρα, καὶ καθὼς ἐντολὴν ἔδωκέν μοι ὁ Πατὴρ, οὕτως ποιῶ. Ἐγείρεσθε, ἄγωμεν ἐντεῦθεν.
