John 14

¹“ Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me.

²In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. And if not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?

³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again, and I will receive you to Myself, so that where I am, you may be also.

⁴And you know the way to where I am going.”

⁵Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus says to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father if not through Me.

⁷If you had known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now, 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, “Am I with you so long a time, and you have not known Me, Philip? The one having seen Me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from Myself; but the Father dwelling in Me does His works.

¹¹Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

¹²Truly, truly, I say to you, the one believing in Me, the works that I do, he will also do. And he will do greater than these, because I am going to the Father.

¹³And whatever you might ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

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

¹⁵If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate so that He may be with you to the age—

¹⁷the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him, nor does it know Him. But you know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.

¹⁸I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

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

²⁰In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

²¹The one having My commandments and keeping them, he is the one loving Me. Now the one loving Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and I will show Myself to him.”

²²Judas (not Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, then what has occurred that You are about to manifest Yourself to us and not to the world?”

²³Jesus answered 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 will make a home with him.

²⁴The one not loving Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine, but that of the Father having sent Me.

²⁵These things I have said to you, remaining with you.

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

²⁷Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.

²⁸You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

²⁹And now I have told you before it comes to pass, so that when it shall have come to pass, you may believe.

³⁰No longer will I speak much with you; for the ruler of the world comes, and in Me he has nothing.

³¹But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded Me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go from here.
