John 13:31–14:14

Christ Announces His Departure

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, f“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and gGod is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and hglorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a ilittle while longer. You will seek Me; jand as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 kA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 lBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will olay down my life for Your sake.”

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not pcrow till you have denied Me three times.

Christ Comforts His Disciples

14 “Let anot your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In 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. 3 And 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. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Christ Answers Thomas

5 eThomas 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 fthe way, gthe truth, and hthe life. iNo one comes to the Father jexcept 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.”

Christ Answers Philip

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? lHe who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do 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. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, oor 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 qAnd whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be rglorified in the Son. 14 If you 3ask anything in My name, I will do it.
