< John 14 >
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
“Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go 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 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
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 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Now you know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and 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 saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by 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 ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and 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 saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew 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 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
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 that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else, believe me because of the works themselves.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my 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 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in 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 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it.]
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it!
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (aiōn )
Also, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Enabler, so that He may stay with you throughout the age (aiōn )
17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall 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 leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live you also will live.
20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
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 saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto 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 answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
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 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which 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 These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
“I have spoken these things to you while being with you.
26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto 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 with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it 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 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my 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 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in 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 that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
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.
