< John 14 >

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
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 the house of my Father are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you, for I am going 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.
If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am you will also be.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
You know the way to where I am going.”
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Thomas said to Jesus, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, 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 said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through 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 also. From now on you know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Philip said to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
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?
Jesus said to him, “I have been with you for so long and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us 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 is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from my own authority, but the Father living in me is doing his 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 that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, or else believe because of the works themselves.
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.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will do the works that I do, and he will do greater works than these because I am going to the Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask 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 it so that the Father will be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it.]
If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
If you love me, you will keep 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 to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter so that he will 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 or know him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
I will not leave you alone; I will come back 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 short amount of time and the world will no longer see me, but you see me. Because I live, you will also live.
20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am 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.
He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me, and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and I will show 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?
Judas (not Iscariot) said to Jesus, “Lord, why is it that you will show 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 answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and we will 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 who does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not from me but from the Father who sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
I have said these things to you, while I am staying 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.
However, the Comforter—the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and he will remind you of everything that I said to 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.
I leave you peace; I give you my peace. I do not give it as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not 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 that I said to you, 'I am going away, and I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you will believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,
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.
but in order that the world will know that I love the Father, I do just as the Father commanded me. Let us get up and go from here.”
