John 14

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

1 "Let a not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 "In My Father's house are many 1 mansions; if it were not so, 2 I would have told you. b I go to prepare a place for you. 3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, c I will come again and receive you to Myself; that d where I am, there you may be also. 4 "And where I go you know, and the way you know." 5 e Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am f the way, g the truth, and h the life. i No one comes to the Father j except through Me. 7 k "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."

8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? l He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 "Do you not believe that m I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you n I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, o or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

12 p "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 q "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be r glorified in the Son. 14 "If you 3 ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 s "If you love Me, 4 keep My commandments. 16 "And I will pray the Father, and t He will give you another 5 Helper, that He may abide with you forever - 17 u "the Spirit of truth, v whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you w and will be in you.

18 x "I will not leave you orphans; y I will come to you. 19 "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but z you will see Me. a Because I live, you will live also. 20 "At that day you will know that b I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 c "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and 6 manifest Myself to him." 22 d Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, e and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and f the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

25 "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 "But g the 7 Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will h send in My name, i He will teach you all things, and bring to your j remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 k "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 "You have heard Me l say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because 8 I said, m 'I am going to the Father,' for n My Father is greater than I. 29 "And o now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 "I will no longer talk much with you, p for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has q nothing in Me. 31 "But that the world may know that I love the Father, and r as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
