John 14
1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also.
“Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into me.
2 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you.
In my Father's house are many dwellings (otherwise I would have told you). I am going away to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
4 And where I am going, you all know the way."
Now you know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5 "Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"
Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 "I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus says to him: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through me.
7 If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."
If you had known me, you would have known my Father as well; from now on you both know Him and have seen Him.”
8 "Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."
Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 "Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you ask me, 'Cause us to see the Father'?
Jesus says to him: “Such a long time I have been with you, and you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.
Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own; rather it is the Father who dwells in me who does the works.
11 Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else, believe me because of the works themselves.
12 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me--the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.
“Most assuredly I say to you, the one believing into me, he too will do the works that I do; in fact he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it!
15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth. (aiōn g165)
Also, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Enabler, so that He may stay with you throughout the age (aiōn g165)
17 That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your side and is in you.
—the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you do know Him, because He is staying with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you.
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live.
In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live you also will live.
20 At that time 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 will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him."
The one who has my commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves me. Now the one who loves me will be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and reveal myself to him.”
22 Judas (not the Iscariot) asked, "Master, how is it that you will reveal yourself clearly to us and not to the world?"
Judas (not the Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, just how is it that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 "If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
Jesus answered and said to him: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word. So my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 He who has no love for me does not obey my teaching; and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine, but is the teaching of the Father who sent me.
The one who does not love me does not keep my words; further, the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
25 "All this I have spoken to you while still with you.
“I have spoken these things to you while being with you.
26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring to your memories all that I have said to you.
But the Enabler, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and remind you of everything I said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; it is not like the world gives that I give to you. Do not let your heart be distressed or intimidated.
28 "You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I am.
“You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ because my Father is greater than I.
29 I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass you may believe.
I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing;
“I will no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is approaching; actually, he has nothing in me.
31 but it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going."
Rather, I habitually do just as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. “Get up, let us leave here.
