| Chapter 14 |
1 | 'Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. |
2 | In 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. |
3 | If 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. |
4 | Where I go, you know, and you know the way.' |
5 | Thomas says to him, 'Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?' |
6 | Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by me. |
7 | If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.' |
8 | Philip said to him, 'Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.' |
9 | Jesus 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?' |
10 | Don'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. |
11 | Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake. |
12 | Most 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. |
13 | Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. |
14 | If you will ask anything in my name, that will I do. |
15 | If you love me, keep my commandments. |
16 | I 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. |
18 | I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you. |
19 | Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. |
20 | In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. |
21 | Someone 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.' |
22 | Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, 'Lord, what will happen that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?' |
23 | Jesus 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. |
24 | He 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. |
26 | But 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. |
27 | Peace 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. |
28 | You 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. |
29 | Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe. |
30 | I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me. |
31 | But 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. |
