< John 14 >
1 LET not your heart be troubled: believe in Aloha, and in me believe.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 Many are the mansions of my Father's house: and if not, I would have told you; for I go to prepare for you a place.
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 to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you with me, that where I am you also may be.
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;
4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thoma saith to him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas. “So how can we know the way?”
6 Jeshu saith to him, I (am) the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto my Father unless by me.
Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 But if me you had known, my Father also would you have known: and henceforth you know him and have seen him.
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.”
8 Philipos saith to him, Our Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we will be satisfied.”
9 Jeshu saith to him, All this time have I been with you, and hast thou not known me, Philipé? He who me seeth, seeth the Father; and how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
“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’?
10 Believest thou not that I am in my Father and my Father in me? And these words that I speak, I speak not from myself, but my Father who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works.
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.
11 Believe that I am in my Father and my Father in me; and if not, even on account of the works, believe.
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.
12 Amen, amen, I say to you, That whosoever believeth in me, these works that I do shall he do also; and more than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father.
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.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.
Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honored in the Son.
14 And if you shall ask (of) me in my name, I will do.
If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
15 IF you love me, keep my commandments;
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 and I will pray of my Father, and another Paraclete will he give you, who will be with you for ever, (aiōn )
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn )
17 the Spirit of truth, he whom the world cannot receive, because it doth not see him, nor know him. But you know him; for with you he dwelleth, and in you is.
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.
18 I will not leave you orphans; for I will come to you a little after.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 And the world seeth me not, but you shall see me; for because I live, you also shall 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 recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself.
It is the person who has 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.”
22 Jihuda saith to him, (it was not Scarjuta, ) My Lord, how to us wilt thou manifest thyself, 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 Jeshu replied, and said to him, He who loveth me, my word keepeth, and my Father will love him, and unto him we come, and a dwelling-place with him we make.
“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.
24 But he who loveth me not, keepeth not my word. And the word that you hear is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.
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.
25 These have I spoken with you while I am with you.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 But he, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Holiness, whom the Father sendeth in my name, he shall teach you every thing, and he shall remind you of all that I have said to you.
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.
27 PEACE I leave with you; my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor 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 have heard what I have told you, that I go, and come to you (again). If you had loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to my Father; for 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, behold, I have told you while it is not done, that when it has been you may believe.
And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 Henceforth I will not speak with you much; for the ruler of the world cometh, and in me hath he nothing.
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;
31 But that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father hath commanded, so I do. Arise, let us go hence!
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.
