< John 14 >

1 Let not your heart be troubled: Believe on God, and, on me, believe.
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In the house of my Father, are, many dwellings; or else I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you.
In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you,
3 And, if I go, and prepare a place for you, again, am I coming, and will take you home unto—myself, that, where, I, am, ye also, may be.
and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may also be.
4 And, whither, I, go, ye know, the way.
You know where I go, and you know the way.”
5 Thomas saith unto him—Lord! we know not whither thou goest: How know we, the way?
Thomas asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus saith unto him—I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through me.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If ye had been getting to know me, my Father also, had ye known: from henceforth, are ye getting to know 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 saith unto him—Lord! show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that would be enough for us.”
9 Jesus saith unto him—So long a time as this, have I been, with you, —and thou hast not come to know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How art, thou, saying, Show us the Father?
Jesus answered, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you haven’t known me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Believest thou not, that, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, is, in me? The things which I am saying unto you, from myself, I speak not; but, the Father, within me abiding, doeth his works.
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you aren’t my own, but from the Father who lives in me. He does the works.
11 Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; —or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you—He that believeth on me, the works which, I, am doing, he also, shall do; and, greater than these, shall he do, because, I, unto the Father, am going, —
“Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and even greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son:
I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If anything ye shall ask [me] in my name, the same, will I do.
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep;
If you sincerely love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age-abidingly, (aiōn g165)
I will then ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, that He may be with you forever — (aiōn g165)
17 The Spirit of truth, —which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.
the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, though, because He lives with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you bereft, —I am coming unto you.
I won’t leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19 Yet a little, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me, —Because, I, live, ye also, shall live.
After a little while the world won’t see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live.
20 In that day, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, 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 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him.
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, sincerely loves me. Whoever sincerely loves me will be sincerely loved by my Father, and I’ll sincerely love them and reveal myself to them.”
22 Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him—Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world?
Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered, and said unto him—If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him, —and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make.
Jesus answered him, “If anyone sincerely loves me, that person will keep my words; and my Father will sincerely love that person, and we will come and make our home with that person.
24 He that loveth me not, doth not keep, my word; —and, the word which ye hear, is not mine, but, the Father’s who sent me.
Whoever doesn’t sincerely love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 These things, have I spoken unto you, With you abiding;
“I’ve told you these things while living with you,
26 But, the Advocate, The Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He, will teach you all things, and will put you in mind, of all things which, I, told you.
but the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance all that I told you.
27 Peace, I leave with you, My own peace, give, I, unto you, —Not as, the world, giveth, give, I, unto you: —Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
I leave peace with you. I give you my peace. I don’t give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye heard that, I, said unto you—I go my way, and I come unto you, —Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the Father, is, greater than I.
You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you sincerely loved me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
29 But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe.
Now I have told you before it happens, that when it does happen, you may believe.
30 No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing, —
I won’t talk much longer with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,
31 But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do. Be rousing yourselves! let us be leading on from hence.
but the world must learn that I sincerely love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come on. Let’s go.
