< John 14 >

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.
2 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.
In my Father’s house there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went to prepare a place for you?
3 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.
I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
And the way is known to you all, where I am going."
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
"We do not know where you are going Lord," said Thomas, "so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever comes to the Father but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
If you had known me, you would have known my Father too; from now on you know him and have seen him."
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
"Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied."
9 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?
"Have I been so long among you, and yet you, Philip, have you not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Cause us to see the Father’?
10 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.
"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 ever dwells in me, is doing his own work.
11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
"Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very words’ sake.
12 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.
"I tell you solemnly that he who trusts in me shall himself do the works that I am doing; and still greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
"And whatever’ you ask in my name I will do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it.]
"If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
"If you love me, you will obey my commandments,
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (aiōn g165)
"and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, (aiōn g165)
17 [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.
"the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot receive him because it does not see him nor know him, but you know him, for he is ever with you and within you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
"I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
"Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.
20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
"At that day you shall understand that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in 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 he who has my commands and obeys them that loves me; and he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him."
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
"How is it, Lord," said Judas (not Iscariot) "that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?"
23 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.
Jesus replied."If any loves me he will obey my word, 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 sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
"He that loves me not does not obey words, and yet the words to which you are listening are not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
"All this I told you while still with you.
26 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.
"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance everything that I have told you.
27 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.
"Peace I leave with you. My own peace I give to you. It is not the world’s ‘Peace’ I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 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.
"You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad because I said ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
"And now I tell you this before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
"I shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.
31 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.
"He has nothing in me, but in his coming the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do just as the Father commanded. Rise, let us be going!"
