< John 14 >

1 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. You 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 house are many mansions. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you,
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may also be.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
4 You know where I go, and you know the way.”
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father too. From now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that would be enough for us.”
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus answered, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you haven’t known me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you aren’t my own, but from the Father who lives in me. He does the works.
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.
Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 “Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and even greater works than these, because I am going to my 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 my Father.
13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified 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 any thing in my name, I will do [it.]
15 If you sincerely love me, you will keep my commandments.
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 I will then ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, that He may be with you forever — (aiōn g165)
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, though, because He lives with you and will be in you.
[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I won’t leave you orphans. I will come to you.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 After a little while the world won’t see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live.
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, sincerely loves me. Whoever sincerely loves me will be sincerely loved by my Father, and I’ll sincerely love them and 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 to him.
22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone sincerely loves me, that person will keep my words; and my Father will sincerely love that person, and we will come and make our home with that person.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 Whoever doesn’t sincerely love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 “I’ve told you these things while living with you,
These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
26 but the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance all that I told you.
But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 I leave peace with you. I give you my peace. I don’t give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
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 afraid.
28 You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you sincerely loved me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 Now I have told you before it happens, that when it does happen, you may believe.
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 I won’t talk much longer with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 but the world must learn that I sincerely love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come on. Let’s go.
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.
