< John 14 >
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in Me;
Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.
2 in the house of My Father are many rooms; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;
In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?
3 and if I go on and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you to Myself, that where I am you also may be;
And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.
4 and to where I go away you have known, and the way you have known.”
And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.
5 Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we have not known to where You go away, and how are we able to know the way?”
Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?
6 Jesus says to him, “I AM the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, if not through Me;
Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.
7 if you had known Me, you would also have known My Father, and from this time you have known Him, and have seen Him.”
If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.
8 Philip says to Him, “Lord, show to us the Father, and it is enough for us”;
Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.
9 Jesus says to him, “Such [a] long time am I with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; and how do you say, Show to us the Father?
Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?
10 Do you not believe that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The sayings that I speak to you, I do not speak from Myself, and the Father who is abiding in Me does the works Himself;
Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.
11 believe Me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in Me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe Me.
Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.
12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is believing in Me, the works that I do—that one will also do, and greater than these he will do, because I go on to My Father;
Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 and whatever you may ask in My Name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.
14 if you ask anything in My Name I will do [it].
If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love Me, keep My commands,
If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.
16 and I will ask the Father, and He will give to you another Comforter, that He may remain with you throughout the age: (aiōn )
And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever, (aiōn )
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see nor know [this] One, and you know [this] One, because [this] One remains with you, and will be in you.
Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you bereaved, I come to you;
I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.
19 yet a little [while] and the world beholds Me no more, and you behold Me, because I live, and you will live;
A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.
20 in that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you;
At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.
21 he who is having My commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving Me, and he who is loving Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.”
He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.
22 Judas says to Him (not the Iscariot), “Lord, what has come to pass, that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone may love Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and We will make [an] abode with him;
Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.
24 he who is not loving Me does not keep My words; and the word that you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.
25 These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
I have said all this to you while I am still with you.
26 and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave to you; My peace I give to you. Not according as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.
28 You heard that I said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I said, I go on to the Father, because My Father is greater than I.
Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have said [it] to you before it comes to pass, that when it may come to pass, you may believe.
And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.
30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world comes, and he has nothing in Me;
After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;
31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave Me command, so I do; arise, we may go from here.”
But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.
