John 14

¹ "Let not your heart be disturbed. Believe in God, and believe in Me. ² In My Father's house are many abodes; yet if not I would have told you, for I am going to make ready a place for you. ³ And if I should be going and making ready a place for you, I am coming again and I will be taking you along to Myself, that where I am, you also may be. ⁴ And where I am going you are aware, and of the way you are aware." ⁵ Thomas is saying to Him, "Lord, we are not aware whither Thou art going, and how can we be aware of the way?" ⁶ Jesus is saying to him, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one is coming to the Father except through Me. ⁷ If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. And henceforth you know Him and have seen Him." ⁸ Philip is saying to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficing us." ⁹ Jesus is saying to him, "So much time I am with you, and you do not know Me, Philip! He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how are you saying, 'Show us the Father'? ¹⁰ Are you not believing that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The declarations which I am speaking to you I am not speaking from Myself. Now the Father, remaining in Me, He is doing His works. ¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; yet if not, believe Me because of the works themselves. ¹² Verily, verily, I am saying to you, he who is believing in Me, the works which I am doing he also will be doing, and greater than these will he be doing, for I am going to the Father. ¹³ And whatever you should be requesting in My name, this I will be doing, that the Father should be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you should ever be requesting anything of Me in My name, this I will be doing. ¹⁵ If you should be loving Me, you will be keeping My precepts. ¹⁶ And I shall be asking the Father, and He will be giving you another consoler, that it, indeed, may be with you for the eon ¹⁷ the spirit of truth, which the world can not get, for it is not beholding it, neither is knowing it. Yet you know it, for it is remaining with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you bereaved; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Still a little and the world is beholding Me no longer, yet you are beholding Me. Seeing that I am living, you also will be living. ²⁰ In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ²¹ He who has My precepts and is keeping them, he it is who is loving Me. Now he who is loving Me will be loved by My Father, and I shall be loving him and shall be disclosing Myself to him." ²² Judas (not Iscariot) is saying to Him, "Lord, and what has occurred that Thou art about to be disclosing Thyself to us and not to the world?" ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone should be loving Me, he will be keeping My word, and My Father will be loving him, and We shall be coming to him and making an abode with him. ²⁴ He who is not loving Me, is not keeping My words. And the word which you are hearing is not Mine, but the Father's Who sends Me. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you, remaining with you. ²⁶ Now the consoler, the holy spirit, which the Father will be sending in My name, that will be teaching you all, and reminding you of all that I said to you. ²⁷ Peace I am leaving with you. My peace I am giving to you. Not according as the world is giving to you, am I giving to you. Let not your heart be disturbed, neither let it be timid. ²⁸ You hear that I said to you, 'I am going, and I am coming to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have declared it to you ere it is occurring, that, whenever it may be occurring, you should be believing. ³⁰ No longer shall I be speaking much with you, for the Chief of the world is coming, and in Me it has not anything. ³¹ But that the world may know that I am loving the Father, and according as the Father directs Me, thus I am doing, rouse! We may be going hence!"
