John 14
1 'Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;
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 on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.'
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thomas saith to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas; “so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus saith to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;
Jesus answered: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.'
If you had recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 Philip saith to him, 'Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we shall be satisfied.”
9 Jesus saith to him, 'So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? He 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 the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;
Do not 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 me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.
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 on account of the work itself.
12 'Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do — that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;
In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
14 if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it].
If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.
15 'If ye love me, my commands keep,
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you — to the age; (aiōn g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 'I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye 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 ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you;
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'
It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
22 Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), 'Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to 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 Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will 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 dwelling with him.
24 he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
He 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 that of the Father who sent me.
25 'These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.
but the Helper — the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name — he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
27 'Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it 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 ye heard that I said to you — I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said — I go on to the Father, because 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 I have said [it] to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;
And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;
I shall 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 the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.
but he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
