John 14

Christ Comforts His Disciples

14“Let ^anot your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ²In My Father’s house are many ¹mansions; if it were not so, ²I would have told you. ^bI go to prepare a place for you. ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^cI will come again and receive you to Myself; that ^dwhere I am, there you may be also. ⁴And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Christ Answers Thomas

^5eThomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus said to him, “I am ^fthe way, ^gthe truth, and ^hthe life. ⁱNo one comes to the Father ^jexcept through Me.

^7k“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

Christ Answers Philip

⁸Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? ^lHe who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Do you not believe that ^mI am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you ⁿI do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. ¹¹Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, ^oor else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

^12p“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. ^13qAnd whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be ^rglorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you ³ask anything in My name, I will do it.

^15s“If you love Me, ⁴keep My commandments. ¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and ^tHe will give you another ⁵Helper, that He may abide with you forever—^17uthe Spirit of truth, ^vwhom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you ^wand will be in you. ^18xI will not leave you orphans; ^yI will come to you.

¹⁹“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ^zyou will see Me. ^aBecause I live, you will live also. ²⁰At that day you will know that ^bI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ^21cHe 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 ⁶manifest Myself to him.”

Christ Answers Judas

^22dJudas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

²³Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^eand We will come to him and make Our home with him. ²⁴He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and ^fthe 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. ²⁶But ^gthe ⁷Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will ^hsend in My name, ⁱHe will teach you all things, and bring to your ^jremembrance all things that I said to you. ^27kPeace 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. ²⁸You have heard Me ^lsay to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because ⁸I said, ^m‘I am going to the Father,’ for ⁿMy Father is greater than I.

²⁹“And ^onow I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. ³⁰I will no longer talk much with you, ^pfor the ruler of this world is coming, and he has ^qnothing in Me. ³¹But that the world may know that I love the Father, and ^ras the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
