< John 14 >
1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.
"Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
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 are many mansions. If it weren't so, I would have told you; for I go 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.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
4 And the way is known to you all, where I am going."
And you know the way where I am 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 do not know where you are 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 said to 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 have known my Father too; from now on you know him and have seen him."
If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
8 "Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied."
Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."
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 said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, and still you do not know me, Philip? He 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.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
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 that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; or else believe because of the works themselves.
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.
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, 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.
And whatever you ask in my name, this 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 me anything 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 commandments.
16 "and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, (aiōn )
I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Helper, that he may be with you forever, — (aiōn )
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.

18 "I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
I will not leave you orphans. I will come 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.
Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20 "At that day you shall understand 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 "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."
The one who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
22 "How is it, Lord," said Judas (not Iscariot) "that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?"
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to 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 answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him.
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.
He who does not love me does not keep my words. The word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 "All this I told you while still 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 the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to 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 with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it 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 heard how I told you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am 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.
Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.
30 "I shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.
I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has no hold on 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 that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
