John — Chapter 14

¹"Don`t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.

²In my Father`s house are many mansions. If it weren`t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

³If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.

⁴Where I go, you know, and you know the way."

⁵Thomas says to him, "Lord, we don`t know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

⁶Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by me.

⁷If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him."

⁸Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

⁹Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, `Show us the Father?`

¹⁰Don`t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father living in me does his works.

¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works` sake.

¹²Most assuredly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these will he do; because I am going to my Father.

¹³Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴If you will ask anything in my name, that will I do.

¹⁵If you love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,

¹⁷-- the Spirit of truth, whom the world can`t receive; for it doesn`t see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

¹⁸I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

¹⁹Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

²⁰In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

²¹Someone who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

²²Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what will happen that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"

²³Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

²⁴He who doesn`t love me doesn`t keep my words. The word which you hear isn`t mine, but the Father`s who sent me.

²⁵I have said these things to you, while still living with you.

²⁶But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your memory all that I said to you.

²⁷Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don`t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

²⁸You heard how I told you, `I go away, and I come to you.` If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said `I am going to my Father;` for the Father is greater than I.

²⁹Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.

³⁰I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

³¹But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
