John 14
- 1Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
- 2In my Father's house are many places to live. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
- 3And 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 be also.
- 4And where I go you know, and the way you know.
- 5Thomas says to him, Lord, we do not know where you go. And how can we know the way?
- 6Jesus says 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. And from now on you know him, and have seen him.
- 8Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.
- 9Jesus says to him, Have I been with you so long, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how do you say then, Show us the Father?
- 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. But the Father that lives in me, he does the works.
- 11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me. Or else believe me for the very works' sake.
- 12Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works that I do shall he do also. And greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father.
- 13And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
- 14If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
- 15If you love me, keep my commandments.
- 16And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may remain with you forever.
- 17Even the Spirit of truth, who the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, neither knows him. But you know him. For he lives with you, and shall be in you.
- 18I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you.
- 19Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more. But you see me. Because I live, you shall live also.
- 20At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
- 21He who has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will show myself to him.
- 22Judas says to him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that you will show yourself to us, and not to the world?
- 23Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves me, he will keep my words. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.
- 24He who does not love me does not keep my sayings. And the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
- 25I have spoken these things to you, being yet present with you.
- 26But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my name, shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
- 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, give I to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
- 28You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father. For my Father is greater than I.
- 29And now I have told you before it happens, that, when it has happened, you might believe.
- 30From now on I will not talk much with you. For the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
- 31But I do as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Arise, let us go from here.
