< John 14 >

1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and, believe in me.
2 In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.
There are many mansions in the house of my Father: and if not, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
And whither I go, ye know; and the way ye know.
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Thomas said to him: Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Jesus said to him: I am the way, and truth, and life: no one cometh unto my Father, but by me.
7 If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father: and henceforth, ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
Philip said to him: Our Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice for us.
9 Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
Jesus said to him: Have I been all this time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He that seeth me, seeth the Father: and how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
Believest thou not, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? And the words which I speak, I speak not from myself: but my Father, who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works.
11 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
Believe, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me. And if not, believe, at least, on account of the works.
12 Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
Verily, verily, I say to you: He that believeth in me, the works which I do, will he also do. And greater than these will he do, because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
And what ye shall ask in my name, I will do for you; that the Father may be glorified in his Son.
14 If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.
And if ye shall ask of me, in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
If ye love me, keep my commands.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give another Advocate to you, so that he may abide with you for eternity: (aiōn g165)
And I will ask of my Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world is not able to accept, because it neither perceives him nor knows him. But you shall know him. For he will remain with you, and he will be in you.
the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, and knoweth him not: but ye know him, because he abideth with you, and is in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will return to you.
I shall not leave you orphans: for I shall come to you in a little while.
19 Yet a little while and the world will not see me any longer. But you will see me. For I live, and you shall live.
And the world will not see me; but ye will see me. Because I live, ye will live also.
20 In that day, you shall know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
In that day ye will know, that I am in my Father; and that ye are in me, and I in you.
21 Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them: it is he who loves me. And whoever loves me shall be loved by my Father. And I will love him, and I will manifest myself to him.”
He, with whom are my commands, and who keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, will be loved by my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him: “Lord, how does it happen that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?”
Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: My Lord, how is it that thou art to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
23 Jesus responded and said to him: “If anyone loves me, he shall keep my word. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our dwelling place with him.
Jesus answered, and said to him: He that loveth me, observeth my instruction; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
24 Whoever does not love me, does not keep not my words. And the word that you have heard is not of me, but it is of the Father who sent me.
But he that loveth me not, observeth not my instruction. And the instruction which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you.
These things have I said to you, while I was with you.
26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.
But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you every thing, and will remind you of all that I say to you.
27 Peace I leave for you; my Peace I give to you. Not in the way that the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and let it not fear.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. It is not as the world giveth, that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid.
28 You have heard that I said to you: I am going away, and I am returning to you. If you loved me, certainly you would be gladdened, because I am going to the Father. For the Father is greater than I.
Ye have heard what I said to you that I go away, and come again to you. If ye had loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I
29 And now I have told you this, before it happens, so that, when it will happen, you may believe.
And now, lo, I have told you, before it occurreth; so that when it shall have occurred, ye may believe.
30 I will not now speak at length with you. For the prince of this world is coming, but he does not have anything in me.
Hereafter I shall not converse much with you; for the ruler of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 Yet this is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I am acting according to the commandment that the Father has given to me. Rise up, let us go from here.”
But that the world may know, that I love my Father, and as my Father commanded me, so I do. Arise; let us go hence.
