John 14
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also 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.
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 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.
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 you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
You know where I go, and you know the way.”
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, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. 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, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through 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 you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you 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, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough 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 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 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.
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 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
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.
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 you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so 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 you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.
If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
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)
I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever: (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 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 orphans. I will return to you.
I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
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.
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, you shall know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you 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.”
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, 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, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself 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 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 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.
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, while abiding with you.
“I have said these things to you while still living 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 Counselor, 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 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; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
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.
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 told you this, before it happens, so that, when it will happen, you may believe.
Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you 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.
I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has 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 the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
