John Chapter 14
1Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in me.
2In my father's house there are many residences. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go, I will prepare a place for you; I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
4So you know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going. So how can we know the way?”
6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and 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 as well. But from now on, you know him, and you have seen him.”
8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the father, and that will be sufficient for us.”
9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the father. So how can you say, ‘Show us the father’?
10Do you not believe that I am in the father, and the father is in me? The words which I say to you, I do not say on my own initiative, but it is the father who remains in me who does the works.
11Believe me, that I am in the father and the father in me. And if not, believe me on account of the works themselves.
12Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works which I do, and he will do greater ones than these, because I am going to my father.
13And whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, so that the father is glorified in the son.
14If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.
15If you love me, keep my commandments.
16Moreover, I will ask the father, and he will give you another comforter, so that he may remain with you throughout the age:
17the spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it does not see it or know it. But you know it, because it remains with you and it will be in you.
18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19Just a little while and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20On that day, you will know that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.
21He who has my commandments and keeps them – that's who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my father, and I will love him, and I will reveal myself to him.”
22Judas, not Iscariot, said to him, “Lord, what has happened then, in that you are going to reveal yourself to us but not to the world?”
23Jesus replied and said to him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make an abode with him.
24He who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word which you hear is not mine, but that of the father who sent me.
25I spoke these things to you when I was staying with you.
26But the comforter, the holy spirit, which the father will send in my name, he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
27I leave you peace. I give you my peace. I give it to you not as the world gives it. Do not let your heart be troubled, or be afraid.
28You have heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced in that I said, ‘I am going to the father’, because the father is greater than I am.
29And now I have spoken to you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe.
30I will no longer discuss many things with you. For the ruler of the world is coming, but he has no hold on me in any way.
31But let the world know that I love the father, and that as my father commanded me, so I act. Up you get, let us move on from here.
