John 14

John 14

1“Don’ t let your heart be troubled . Believe in God . Believe also in me .

2In my Father ’s house are many homes. 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 .

4You know where I go , and you know the way .”

5Thomas said 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 , except through 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 who lives 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 certainly I tell you , he who believes in me , the works that I do , he will do also ; and he will do greater works than these , because I am going to my Father .

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

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

15If you love me , keep my commandments .

16I will pray to the Father , and he will give you another Counsellor, that he may be with you forever :[#14:16 Greek παρακλητον: Counsellor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comforter.]

17the Spirit of truth, whom the world can ’ t receive , for it doesn’ t see him and doesn’ t know 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 .

21One 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 has happened that you are about to 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 .

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

26But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit , whom the Father will send in my name , will teach you all things , and will remind you of all that I said to you .

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

28You heard how I told you , ‘ I am going away , and I will come back 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 ’s go from here .
