< John 14 >
1 'Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;
“Don’t let your heart 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 house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. 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;
If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
4 and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.'
You know where I go, and you know the way.”
5 Thomas saith to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. 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 said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one 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 known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip saith to him, 'Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
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?
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘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;
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
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 that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
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;
Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it].
If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 'If ye love me, my commands keep,
If you love me, keep my commandments.
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 )
I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor, that he may be with you forever: (aiōn )
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 Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
18 'I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;
I will not leave you orphans. 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;
Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20 in that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I 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 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.'
One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One 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?'
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about 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;
Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home 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 doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 'These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
“I have said these things to you while still living 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 Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I 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 I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
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 how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for 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;
Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
30 I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;
I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in 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 that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
