John 14
1 LET not your heart be troubled: believe in Aloha, and in me believe.2 Many are the mansions of my Father's house: and if not, I would have told you; for I go to prepare for you a place.3 And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you with me, that where I am you also may be.
4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.5 Thoma saith to him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way ?6 Jeshu saith to him, I (am) the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto my Father unless by me.7 But if me you had known, my Father also would you have known: and henceforth you know him and have seen him.8 Philipos saith to him, Our Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.9 Jeshu saith to him, All this time have I been with you, and hast thou not known me, Philipé? He who me seeth, seeth the Father; and how sayest thou, Show us the Father ?10 Believest thou not that I am in my Father and my Father in me ? And these words that I speak, I speak not from myself, but my Father who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works.11 Believe that I am in my Father and my Father in me; and if not, even on account of the works, believe.
12 Amen, amen, I say to you, That whosoever believeth in me, these works that I do shall he do also; and more than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father.13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.14 And if you shall ask (of) me in my name, I will do.
15 IF you love me, keep my commandments;16 and I will pray of my Father, and another Paraclete [fn] will he give you, who will be with you for ever, 17 the Spirit of truth, he whom the world cannot receive, because it doth not see him, nor know him. But you know him; for with you he dwelleth, and in you is.
18 I will not leave you orphans; for I will come to you a little after.19 And the world seeth me not, but you shall see me; for because I live, you also shall live.20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.21 He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself.22 Jihuda saith to him, (it was not Scarjuta,) My Lord, how to us wilt thou manifest thyself, and not to the world ?23 Jeshu replied, and said to him, He who loveth me, my word keepeth, and my Father will love him, and unto him we come, and a dwelling-place [fn] with him we make. 24 But he who loveth me not, keepeth not my word. And the word that you hear is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.
25 These have I spoken with you while I am with you.26 But he, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Holiness, whom the Father sendeth in my name, he shall teach you every thing, and he shall remind you of all that I have said to you.27 PEACE I leave with you; my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid.
28 You have heard what I have told you, that I go, and come to you (again). If you had loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I.29 And now, behold, I have told you while it is not done, that when it has been you may believe.30 Henceforth I will not speak with you much; for the ruler of the world cometh, and in me hath he nothing.31 But that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father hath commanded, so I do. Arise, let us go hence !
