John 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 were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also.

4 And where I go, 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 says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me.7 If you have known me, you will also know my Father: and from now on you know him, and have seen him.8 Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.9 Jesus says to him, Have I been so long time with you, and do you not know me, Philip? he that 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 say to you I don't speak from myself: but the Father abiding in me does his works.11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: otherwise believe for the very works' sake.

12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater [works] than these he shall do; because I go to the Father.13 And whatever you shall ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14 If you shall ask me anything in my name, I will do [it].

15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments.16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you forever,17 [even] the Spirit of truth: whom the world can't receive; for it does not see him, neither knows him: you know him; for he abides with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you desolate: I come to you.19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.20 In that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, it is he that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.22 Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, Lord, and what has come to pass that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.24 He that does not love me does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

25 These things I have spoken to you, while [yet] abiding with you.26 But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance 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 said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it has come to pass, 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.
