< John 14 >
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me.
2 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.
In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;
3 And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be.
4 and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.
5 “We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas. “So how can we know the way?”
Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.
7 If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him.”
If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him.
8 “Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we will be satisfied.”
Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us.
9 “Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? The person who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
10 Don’t 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.
Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works.
11 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 because of the work itself.
Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves.
12 In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me will themselves do the work that I am doing; and they will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father.
13 Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honored in the Son.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn )
And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn )
17 The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognize him, but you recognize him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you.
19 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.
Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live.
20 At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 It is they who have my commands and lays them to heart who loves me; and the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them, and will reveal myself to them.”
He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
22 “What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world?
23 “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 home with him.
Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him.
24 The person 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 comes from the Father who sent me.
He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has sent me.
25 I have told you all this while still with you,
These things I have said to you, abiding with you;
26 but the helper – the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name – will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you.
27 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.
I leave peace with you; I give my peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it fear.
28 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.
Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for [my] Father is greater than I.
29 And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it shall have come to pass ye may believe.
30 I will not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world comes, and in me he has nothing;
31 but he is coming so that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go hence.
