< John 14 >

1 Let not your heart be troubled: Believe on God, and, on me, believe.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.
2 In the house of my Father, are, many dwellings; or else I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you.
In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3 And, if I go, and prepare a place for you, again, am I coming, and will take you home unto—myself, that, where, I, am, ye also, may be.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
4 And, whither, I, go, ye know, the way.
You know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thomas saith unto him—Lord! we know not whither thou goest: How know we, the way?
“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus saith unto him—I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through me.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 If ye had been getting to know me, my Father also, had ye known: from henceforth, are ye getting to know him, and have seen him.
If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip saith unto him—Lord! show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus saith unto him—So long a time as this, have I been, with you, —and thou hast not come to know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How art, thou, saying, Show us the Father?
Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who 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, is, in me? The things which I am saying unto you, from myself, I speak not; but, the Father, within me abiding, doeth his works.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.
11 Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; —or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you—He that believeth on me, the works which, I, am doing, he also, shall do; and, greater than these, shall he do, because, I, unto the Father, am going, —
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son:
And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If anything ye shall ask [me] in my name, the same, will I do.
If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.
15 If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep;
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
16 And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age-abidingly, (aiōn g165)
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— (aiōn g165)
17 The Spirit of truth, —which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.
the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you bereft, —I am coming unto you.
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me, —Because, I, live, ye also, shall live.
In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 In that day, shall ye get to 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 you are in Me, and 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 by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him.
Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”
22 Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him—Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world?
Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered, and said unto him—If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him, —and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make.
Jesus replied, “If anyone 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 He that loveth me not, doth not keep, my word; —and, the word which ye hear, is not mine, but, the Father’s who sent me.
Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.
25 These things, have I spoken unto you, With you abiding;
All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26 But, the Advocate, The Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He, will teach you all things, and will put you in mind, of all things which, I, told you.
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
27 Peace, I leave with you, My own peace, give, I, 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 peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
28 Ye heard that, I, said unto you—I go my way, and I come unto you, —Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the Father, is, greater than I.
You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe.
And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
30 No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing, —
I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.
31 But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do. Be rousing yourselves! let us be leading on from hence.
But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
