John 14
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in Me;
Do not let your hearts be troubled. 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 Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going 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, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and 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 know the way to the place 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, Master,” 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: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever 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 recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 Philip says to Him, “Lord, show to us the Father, and it is enough for us”;
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “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 all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘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;
Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does 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,” he said to them all, “when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.
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;
In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 and whatever you may ask in My Name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured 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 lay my commands to heart,
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 g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (aiōn g165)
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 world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 I will not leave you bereaved, I come to you;
I will not leave you bereaved; 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;
In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
20 in that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you;
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with 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 lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal 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?”
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to 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;
“Whoever loves me,” Jesus answered, “will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling 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 does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.
25 These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
I have told you all this 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 Helper — the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name — he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that 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.
Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
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 say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because 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 this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
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 Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with 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 is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
