< John 14 >

1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In the house of my Father are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you.
3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am you will also be.
And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.
4 You know the way to where I am going.”
And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas said to Jesus, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, how can we know the way?”
Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you know him and have seen him.”
If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.
8 Philip said to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for us.
9 Jesus said to him, “I have been with you for so long and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
10 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 my own authority, but the Father living in me is doing his work.
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 abideth in me, he doth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, or else believe because of the works themselves.
Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will do the works that I do, and he will do greater works than these because I am going to the Father.
Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do.
13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father will be glorified in the Son.
Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments,
If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 and I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter so that he will be with you forever— (aiōn g165)
And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever. (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive him because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him; because he shall abide with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you alone; I will come back to you.
I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you.
19 Yet a short amount of time and the world will no longer see me, but you see me. Because I live, you will also live.
Yet a little while: and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live.
20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you.
In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me, and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and I will show myself to him.”
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Jesus, “Lord, why is it that you will show yourself to us and not to the world?”
Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and we will 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 will make our abode with him.
24 He who does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not from me but from the Father who sent me.
He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard, is not mine; but the Father’s who sent me.
25 I have said these things to you, while I am staying with you.
These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you.
26 However, the Comforter—the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and he will remind you of everything that I said to you.
But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.
27 I leave you peace; I give you my peace. I do not give it as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
28 You heard that I said to you, 'I am going away, and I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.
You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you will believe.
And now I have told you before it comes to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe.
30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,
I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not any thing.
31 but in order that the world will know that I love the Father, I do just as the Father commanded me. Let us get up and go from here.”
But that the world may know, that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I: Arise, let us go hence.
