Iohannem 14
1 Non turbetur cor vestrum. Creditis in Deum, et in me credite.
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt. si quo minus dixissem vobis: Quia vado parare vobis locum.
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,
3 Et si abiero, et praeparavero vobis locum: iterum venio, et accipiam vos ad meipsum, ut ubi sum ego, et vos sitis.
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.
4 Et quo ego vado scitis, et viam scitis.
You know where I go, and you know the way.”
5 Dicit ei Thomas: Domine, nescimus quo vadis: et quo modo possumus viam scire?
Thomas asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Dicit ei Iesus: Ego sum via, veritas, et vita. nemo venit ad Patrem, nisi per me.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 Si cognovissetis me, et Patrem meum utique cognovissetis: et amodo cognoscetis eum, et vidistis eum.
If you had known me, you would have known my Father too. From now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Dicit ei Philippus: Domine, ostende nobis Patrem, et sufficit nobis.
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that would be enough for us.”
9 Dicit ei Iesus: Tanto tempore vobiscum sum: et non cognovistis me? Philippe, qui videt me, videt et Patrem. Quomodo tu dicis: Ostende nobis Patrem?
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’?
10 Non creditis quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? Verba, quae ego loquor vobis, a me ipso non loquor. Pater autem in me manens, ipse fecit opera.
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.
11 Non creditis quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est?
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.
12 Alioquin propter opera ipsa credite. Amen, amen dico vobis, qui credit in me, opera, quae ego facio, et ipse faciet, et maiora horum faciet: quia ego ad Patrem vado.
“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.
13 Et quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, hoc faciam: ut glorificetur Pater in Filio.
I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Si quid petieritis me in nomine meo, hoc faciam.
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 Si diligitis me: mandata mea servate.
If you sincerely love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 Et ego rogabo Patrem, et alium paraclitum dabit vobis, ut maneat vobiscum in aeternum, (aiōn g165)
I will then ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, that He may be with you forever — (aiōn g165)
17 Spiritum veritatis, quem mundus non potest accipere, quia non videt eum, nec scit eum. vos autem cognoscetis eum: quia apud vos manebit, et in vobis erit.
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.
18 Non relinquam vos orphanos: veniam ad vos.
I won’t leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19 Adhuc modicum: et mundus me iam non videt. Vos autem videtis me: quia ego vivo, et vos vivetis.
After a little while the world won’t see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live.
20 In illo die vos cognoscetis quia ego sum in Patre meo, et vos in me, et ego in vobis.
In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Qui habet mandata mea, et servat ea: ille est, qui diligit me. Qui autem diligit me, diligetur a Patre meo: et ego diligam eum, et manifestabo ei meipsum.
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.”
22 Dicit ei Iudas, non ille Iscariotes: Domine, quid factum est, quia manifestaturus es nobis teipsum, et non mundo?
Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Si quis diligit me, sermonem meum servabit, et Pater meus diliget eum, et ad eum veniemus, et mansionem apud eum faciemus:
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.
24 qui non diligit me, sermones meos non servat. Et sermonem, quem audistis, non est meus: sed eius, qui misit me, Patris.
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.
25 Haec locutus sum vobis apud vos manens.
“I’ve told you these things while living with you,
26 Paraclitus autem Spiritus sanctus, quem mittet Pater in nomine meo, ille vos docebit omnia, et suggeret vobis omnia, quaecumque dixero vobis.
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.
27 Pacem relinquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis: non quomodo mundus dat, ego do vobis. Non turbetur cor vestrum, neque formidet.
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.
28 Audistis quia ego dixi vobis: Vado, et venio ad vos. Si diligeretis me, gauderetis utique, quia vado ad Patrem: quia Pater maior me est.
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.
29 Et nunc dixi vobis prius quam fiat: ut cum factum fuerit, credatis.
Now I have told you before it happens, that when it does happen, you may believe.
30 Iam non multa loquar vobiscum. venit enim princeps mundi huius, et in me non habet quidquam.
I won’t talk much longer with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,
31 Sed ut cognoscat mundus quia diligo Patrem, et sicut mandatum dedit mihi Pater, sic facio. Surgite, eamus hinc.
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.
