John 14
1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.
“Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
2 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?
In my Father's house there are many rooms. If this wasn't so I would have told you. I'm going to prepare a place for you.
3 I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.
Once I've gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you back with me, so that you can be there with me too.
4 And the way is known to you all, where I am going."
You know the way to where I'm going.”
5 "We do not know where you are going Lord," said Thomas, "so how can we know the way?"
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever comes to the Father but by me.
Jesus replied, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father too; from now on you know him and have seen him."
If you had known me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and you have seen him.”
8 "Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied."
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
9 "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’?
Jesus replied, “Have I been with you such a long time, Philip, and yet you still don't know me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 "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.
Don't you believe that I live in the Father and the Father lives in me? The words I speak are not mine; it's the Father living in me who is doing his work.
11 "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.
Believe me when I tell you that I live in the Father, and the Father lives in me, or at least believe because of the evidence provided by all that I've done.
12 "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.
I tell you the truth, anyone who trusts in me will do the same things I am doing. In fact they will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.
13 "And whatever’ you ask in my name I will do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
14 "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments,
If you love me, you will keep my commands.
16 "and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, (aiōn g165)
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, (aiōn g165)
17 "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.
the Spirit of truth, who will always be with you. The world cannot accept him because it isn't looking for him and does not know him. But you know him because he lives with you and will be in you.
18 "I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
19 "Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.
Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
20 "At that day you shall understand that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
On that day you will know that I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.
21 "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."
Those who keep my commands are the ones who love me, those who love me will be loved by my Father. I will love them too, and will reveal myself to them.”
22 "How is it, Lord," said Judas (not Iscariot) "that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?"
Judas (not Iscariot) responded, “Lord, why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 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.
Jesus replied, “Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.
24 "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.
Those who don't love me don't do what I say. These words don't come from me, they come from the Father who sent me.
25 "All this I told you while still with you.
I'm explaining this to you while I'm still here with you.
26 "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.
But when the Father sends the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, in my place, he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.
27 "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.
Peace I leave you; my peace I'm giving you. The peace I give you is nothing like what the world gives. Don't let your minds be anxious, and don't be afraid.
28 "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.
You've heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, but I will come back to you.’ If you really loved me, you would be happy because I'm going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 "And now I tell you this before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
I've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
30 "I shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.
I can't talk to you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no power to control me,
31 "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!"
but I'm doing what my Father told me to do so that the world will know that I love the Father. Now get up. Let's go.”
