| 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. --
