< John 14 >

1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
Let not your heart be troubled: Believe on God, and, on me, believe.
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 the house of my Father, are, many dwellings; or else I would have told you, 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 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.
4 You know the way to where I am going.”
And, whither, I, go, ye know, the way.
5 Thomas said to Jesus, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, how can we know the way?”
Thomas saith unto him—Lord! we know not whither thou goest: How know we, 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 unto him—I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through 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 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.
8 Philip said to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Philip saith unto him—Lord! show us the Father, and it sufficeth 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 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?
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.
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.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, or else believe because of the works themselves.
Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; —or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.
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.
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, —
13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father will be glorified in the Son.
And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, 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 anything ye shall ask [me] in my name, the same, will I do.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments,
If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep;
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 request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age-abidingly, (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, —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.
18 I will not leave you alone; I will come back to you.
I will not leave you bereft, —I am coming unto 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, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me, —Because, I, live, ye also, 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, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, 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 by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto 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, not the Iscariot, saith unto him—Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto 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 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.
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, doth not keep, my word; —and, the word which ye hear, 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 unto you, With you abiding;
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you will believe.
But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye 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,
No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing, —
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 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.
