14
1 “Don’t let your
heart be
troubled. Believe
in God. Believe
also in me.
2 In my Father’s
house are
many homes. 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 You know where
I go, and
you know the
way.”
5 Thomas
said 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,
except through
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 who
lives 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 certainly I
tell you, he
who believes in
me, the works
that I do,
he will do
also; and he
will do greater
works than these,
because I am
going to my
Father.
13 Whatever you
will ask in my
name, I will
do it, that
the Father may
be glorified in
the Son.
14 If you will ask
anything in my
name, I will
do it.
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 and doesn’t
know 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 One 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
has happened that
you are about
to 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, will
teach you all
things, and will
remind you of
all that I
said to you.
27 Peace I leave
with you. My
peace I give
to you; not
as the world
gives, I give
to you. Don’t
let your heart
be troubled,
neither let it
be fearful.
28 You heard how I
told you, ‘I
am going away,
and I will
come back 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’s
go from
here.
