John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you.
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.
3 And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.
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;
4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas. “So how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.
If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for us.
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we will be satisfied.”
9 Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? The person who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.
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.
11 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
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.
12 Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do.
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.
13 Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honored in the Son.
14 If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever. (aiōn g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn g165)
17 The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him; because he shall abide with you, and shall be in you.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognize him, but you recognize him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while: and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live.
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.
20 In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with 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 to him.
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.”
22 Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered, and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him.
“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.
24 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard, is not mine; but the Father’s who sent me.
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.
25 These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.
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.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
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.
28 You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
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.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe.
And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not any thing.
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;
31 But that the world may know, that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I: Arise, let us go hence.
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.
