< John 14 >
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in Me;
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also 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 many mansions. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I go to prepare 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 prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may also be.
4 and to where I go away you have known, and the way you have known.”
You know where I go, and you know the way.”
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 asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know 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 told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through 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 known me, you would have known my Father too. From now on you know Him 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, show us the Father, and that would be enough for us.”
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 answered, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you haven’t known me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, ‘Show us 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;
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you aren’t my own, but from the Father who lives in me. He does the 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.
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.
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;
“Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and even greater works 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;
I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 if you ask anything in My Name I will do [it].
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love Me, keep My commands,
If you sincerely love me, you will keep my commandments.
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 )
I will then ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, that He may be with you forever — (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.
the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, though, because He lives with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you bereaved, I come to you;
I won’t leave you orphans. I will come 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;
After a little while the world won’t see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live.
20 in that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you 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 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.”
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, sincerely loves me. Whoever sincerely loves me will be sincerely loved by my Father, and I’ll sincerely love them and reveal myself to them.”
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) asked Him, “Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us, and not to 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 answered him, “If anyone sincerely loves me, that person will keep my words; and my Father will sincerely love that person, and we will come and make our home with that person.
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.
Whoever doesn’t sincerely love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
“I’ve told you these things while living 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 Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance all that I told 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.
I leave peace with you. I give you my peace. I don’t give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
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.
You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you sincerely loved me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my 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.
Now I have told you before it happens, that when it does happen, you may believe.
30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world comes, and he has nothing in Me;
I won’t talk much longer with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. 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 the world must learn that I sincerely love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come on. Let’s go.
