< John 14 >
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in Me;
"Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.
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 there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went 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;
I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.
4 and to where I go away you have known, and the way you have known.”
And the way is known to you all, where I am going."
5 Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we have not known to where You go away, and how are we able to know the way?”
"We do not know where you are going Lord," said Thomas, "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 answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever 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 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”;
"Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied."
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?
"Have I been so long among you, and yet you, Philip, have you not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Cause us to 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;
"Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself; but the Father, who ever dwells in me, is doing his own work.
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, all of you, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very words’ sake.
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;
"I tell you solemnly that he who trusts in me shall himself do the works that I am doing; and still 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;
"And whatever’ you ask in my name I will do; 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 love me, you will obey 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 )
"and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to 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. The world cannot receive him because it does not see him nor know him, but you know him, for he is ever with you and within you.
18 I will not leave you bereaved, I come to you;
"I will not leave you comfortless; 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;
"Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.
20 in that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you;
"At that day you shall understand 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.”
"It is he who has my commands and obeys them that loves me; and he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to 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?”
"How is it, Lord," said Judas (not Iscariot) "that you will manifest 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 replied."If any loves me he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home 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 that loves me not does not obey words, and yet the words to which you are listening are not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
"All this I told you while 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 Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance everything that I have 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.
"Peace I leave with you. My own peace I give to you. It is not the world’s ‘Peace’ I give you. Let not 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 heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad 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.
"And now I tell you this before it happens, so 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 shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.
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.”
"He has nothing in me, but in his coming the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do just as the Father commanded. Rise, let us be going!"
