John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also.
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 there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready 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 make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.
4 And whither I go, ye know the way.
And where I am going, you all know the way."
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
"Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do 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.
"I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and 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--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
"Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."
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?
"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'?
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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.
If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.
"If you love me, you will obey 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)
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)
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.
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.
18 I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming 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.
Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live.
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 know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am 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.
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."
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 the Iscariot) asked, "Master, how is it that you will reveal yourself clearly 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.
"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.
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.
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.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, while [yet] abiding with you.
"All this I have spoken to you while still 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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.
I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass 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;
In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing;
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 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."
