John 14
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 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.
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.
3 And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
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.
4 and you know the way to the place where I am going.’
And whither I go, ye know the way.
5 ‘We do not know where you are going, Master,’ said Thomas. ‘So how can we know the way?’
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
6 Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 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.’
If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 ‘Master, show us the Father,’ said Philip, ‘and we will be satisfied.’
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 ‘Have I been all this time among you,’ said Jesus, ‘and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? The person who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, “Show us the Father”?
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, Shew us the Father?
10 Don’t 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.
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.
11 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 because of the work itself.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me will themselves do the work that I am doing; and they will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
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.
13 Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
If ye shall ask me anything in my name, that will I do.
15 If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.
16 and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn g165)
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
17 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.
[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.
18 I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
19 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.
Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 It is they who have my commands and lays them to heart who loves me; and the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them, and will reveal myself to them.’
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.
22 ‘What has happened, Master,’ said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), ‘that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?’
Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 ‘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 home with him.
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.
24 The person 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 comes from the Father who sent me.
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.
25 I have told you all this while still with you,
These things have I spoken unto you, while [yet] abiding with you.
26 but the helper – the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name – will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
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.
27 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.
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.
28 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.
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.
29 And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.
30 I will not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me;
31 but he is coming so that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
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.
