John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you,
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may also be.
4 And whither I go, ye know the way.
You know where I go, and you know the way.”
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
Thomas asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus told 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, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
If you had known me, you would have known my Father too. From now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that would be enough for us.”
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
Jesus answered, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you haven’t known me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you aren’t my own, but from the Father who lives in me. He does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.
“Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and even greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.
If you sincerely love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
I will then ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, that He may be with you forever — (aiōn g165)
17 [even] the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.
the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, though, because He lives with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
I won’t leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.
After a little while the world won’t see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live.
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 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 unto him.
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, sincerely loves me. Whoever sincerely loves me will be sincerely loved by my Father, and I’ll sincerely love them and reveal myself to them.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Jesus answered him, “If anyone sincerely loves me, that person will keep my words; and my Father will sincerely love that person, and we will come and make our home with that person.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
Whoever doesn’t sincerely 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 have I spoken unto you, while [yet] abiding with you.
“I’ve told you these things while living with you,
26 But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.
but the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance all that I told you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
I leave peace with you. I give you my peace. I don’t give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you sincerely loved me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.
Now I have told you before it happens, that when it does happen, you may believe.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me;
I won’t talk much longer with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,
31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
but the world must learn that I sincerely love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come on. Let’s go.
