< John 14 >

1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Stop being anxious/worried. Keep on trusting in God (OR, You are trusting in God); also keep trusting in me.
μη ταρασσεσθω υμων η καρδια πιστευετε εισ τον θεον και εισ εμε πιστευετε
2 Where my Father is [in heaven] there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go [there] to prepare a place for you.
εν τη οικια του πατροσ μου μοναι πολλαι εισιν ει δε μη ειπον αν υμιν πορευομαι ετοιμασαι τοπον υμιν
3 And because I will go [there] and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you there to be with me. I will do that so that you may also be where I am.
και εαν πορευθω ετοιμασω υμιν τοπον παλιν ερχομαι και παραληψομαι υμασ προσ εμαυτον ινα οπου ειμι εγω και υμεισ ητε
4 You know the road to the place where I am going.”
και οπου εγω υπαγω οιδατε και την οδον οιδατε
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
λεγει αυτω θωμασ κυριε ουκ οιδαμεν που υπαγεισ και πωσ δυναμεθα την οδον ειδεναι
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the road [MET] [to where my Father is]. I am the [one who reveals] [MET] the truth [about God] and the [one who gives eternal] life [to people]. I am the only one who can [enable people] to come to [my] Father. There is no other way.
λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ εγω ειμι η οδοσ και η αληθεια και η ζωη ουδεισ ερχεται προσ τον πατερα ει μη δι εμου
7 If you [really] knew who I was, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and [it is as though] you have seen him.”
ει εγνωκειτε με και τον πατερα μου εγνωκειτε αν και απ αρτι γινωσκετε αυτον και εωρακατε αυτον
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
λεγει αυτω φιλιπποσ κυριε δειξον ημιν τον πατερα και αρκει ημιν
9 Jesus said to him, “Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So (surely you should know who I [really am]!/why have you not come to know who I [really am]?) [RHQ] Those who have seen me, [it is as though] they have seen [my] Father. So (why do you say ‘Show us [your] Father’?/you should not say ‘Show us [your] Father’!) [RHQ]
λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ τοσουτον χρονον μεθ υμων ειμι και ουκ εγνωκασ με φιλιππε ο εωρακωσ εμε εωρακεν τον πατερα και πωσ συ λεγεισ δειξον ημιν τον πατερα
10 Do you not [RHQ] believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father, and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me? The messages that I tell you do not come from me. They come from my Father, who has a close relationship with me. He is enabling me to [teach these things, and] to perform the miracles that he [wants me to perform].
ου πιστευεισ οτι εγω εν τω πατρι και ο πατηρ εν εμοι εστιν τα ρηματα α εγω λαλω υμιν απ εμαυτου ου λαλω ο δε πατηρ ο εν εμοι μενων αυτοσ ποιει τα εργα
11 Believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me. If you do not believe that just because of what I say, believe it because of the miracles themselves [that I have done].
πιστευετε μοι οτι εγω εν τω πατρι και ο πατηρ εν εμοι ει δε μη δια τα εργα αυτα πιστευετε μοι
12 Listen to this carefully: [You] who trust in me will do the [kinds of] miracles [that I have done]. [Because of what I will do for you] (OR, [Because I will send God’s Spirit to you]) after I go to my Father, you will be able to do [miracles] that will be greater than [the ones I have done].
αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ο πιστευων εισ εμε τα εργα α εγω ποιω κακεινοσ ποιησει και μειζονα τουτων ποιησει οτι εγω προσ τον πατερα μου πορευομαι
13 And whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show [you] how great [my] Father is.
και ο τι αν αιτησητε εν τω ονοματι μου τουτο ποιησω ινα δοξασθη ο πατηρ εν τω υιω
14 Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
εαν τι αιτησητε με εν τω ονοματι μου εγω ποιησω
15 “If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
εαν αγαπατε με τασ εντολασ τασ εμασ τηρησατε
16 Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn g165)
και εγω ερωτησω τον πατερα και αλλον παρακλητον δωσει υμιν ινα μενη μεθ υμων εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
17 [I am talking about] the Spirit, who [will teach you God’s] truth. He will be with you forever. Those who are opposed to God [MTY] cannot receive him, because they cannot understand what he [does], and they cannot know who he is. But you know who he is, because he is with you and he will be inside you.
το πνευμα τησ αληθειασ ο ο κοσμοσ ου δυναται λαβειν οτι ου θεωρει αυτο ουδε γινωσκει αυτο υμεισ δε γινωσκετε αυτο οτι παρ υμιν μενει και εν υμιν εσται
18 [When I leave you], I will not let you be alone/helpless [MET]. [When I send the Spirit, it will be like] I am coming back to you (OR, [When I rise from the dead], I will come back to you.)
ουκ αφησω υμασ ορφανουσ ερχομαι προσ υμασ
19 Soon those who do not belong to God [MTY] will not see me any more. But [when the Spirit comes to you, it will be as though] you will be seeing me again (OR, But [after I become alive again], you will see me again.) Because I will be alive again, you also will have [eternal] life.
ετι μικρον και ο κοσμοσ με ουκετι θεωρει υμεισ δε θεωρειτε με οτι εγω ζω και υμεισ ζησεσθε
20 At that time you will know that I have a close relationship with my Father, and you will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with you.
εν εκεινη τη ημερα γνωσεσθε υμεισ οτι εγω εν τω πατρι μου και υμεισ εν εμοι και εγω εν υμιν
21 Those who have accepted my commands and obey them are the people who love me. My Father will love those who love me. I also will love them, and I will fully reveal to them [what I am like].”
ο εχων τασ εντολασ μου και τηρων αυτασ εκεινοσ εστιν ο αγαπων με ο δε αγαπων με αγαπηθησεται υπο του πατροσ μου και εγω αγαπησω αυτον και εμφανισω αυτω εμαυτον
22 Then Judas spoke to him. He was not Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), [but instead a disciple whose other name was Thaddeus]. He said, “Lord, what has happened so that you can fully reveal to us what you are like, and not reveal that to those who do not belong to God [MTY]?”
λεγει αυτω ιουδασ ουχ ο ισκαριωτησ κυριε και τι γεγονεν οτι ημιν μελλεισ εμφανιζειν σεαυτον και ουχι τω κοσμω
23 Jesus replied to him, “Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will [also] love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will [be able to] come to and (live with/have a personal relationship with).
απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω εαν τισ αγαπα με τον λογον μου τηρησει και ο πατηρ μου αγαπησει αυτον και προσ αυτον ελευσομεθα και μονην παρ αυτω ποιησομεν
24 But those who do not love me will not obey what I have told them. [So I cannot reveal to them what I am really like]. These words that I am telling you have not come just from me. They came from [my] Father, the one who sent me.
ο μη αγαπων με τουσ λογουσ μου ου τηρει και ο λογοσ ον ακουετε ουκ εστιν εμοσ αλλα του πεμψαντοσ με πατροσ
25 I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν παρ υμιν μενων
26 But [my] Father will send the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He will come with my authority [MTY]. He will teach you all of [God’s truth that you need to know]. He will also cause you to remember all the things that I have told you.
ο δε παρακλητοσ το πνευμα το αγιον ο πεμψει ο πατηρ εν τω ονοματι μου εκεινοσ υμασ διδαξει παντα και υπομνησει υμασ παντα α ειπον υμιν
27 As I leave you, I am causing you to have [inner] peace. This [inner] peace comes from me. I am not causing you to have something that those who do not belong to God [MTY] can give you. [So] stop being anxious/worried, and do not be afraid.
ειρηνην αφιημι υμιν ειρηνην την εμην διδωμι υμιν ου καθωσ ο κοσμοσ διδωσιν εγω διδωμι υμιν μη ταρασσεσθω υμων η καρδια μηδε δειλιατω
28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, but [later] I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going back to [my] Father, because [my] Father is greater than I am, [and there he will honor me and will send the Spirit to you].
ηκουσατε οτι εγω ειπον υμιν υπαγω και ερχομαι προσ υμασ ει ηγαπατε με εχαρητε αν οτι ειπον πορευομαι προσ τον πατερα οτι ο πατηρ μου μειζων μου εστιν
29 I have told you [these things now] before they happen, so that when they happen you will believe [that what I said is true].
και νυν ειρηκα υμιν πριν γενεσθαι ινα οταν γενηται πιστευσητε
30 I will not [be able to] talk to you much longer, because what happens to me will be as though [Satan], the ruler of this world, is coming [to attack me]. But he has no [control over what happens to] me.
ουκετι πολλα λαλησω μεθ υμων ερχεται γαρ ο του κοσμου αρχων και εν εμοι ουκ εχει ουδεν
31 Instead, the people who do not belong to God [MTY] must learn [from what happens to me] that I love [my] Father, and I am doing the things that he has commanded me to do. Now, let’s get up and leave here.”
αλλ ινα γνω ο κοσμοσ οτι αγαπω τον πατερα και καθωσ ενετειλατο μοι ο πατηρ ουτωσ ποιω εγειρεσθε αγωμεν εντευθεν
