John Chapter 14 Back Next{14:1} "Don't let your
heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
{14:2} In my
Father's house are many homes. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
{14:3} If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
{14:4} Where I go, you know, and you know the way."
{14:5} Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?"
{14:6}
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
{14:7} If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him."
{14:8} Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."
{14:9} Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
{14:10} Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
{14:11} Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.
{14:12} Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
{14:13} Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
{14:14} If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
{14:15} If you love me, keep my commandments.
{14:16} I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another
Counselor, that he may be with you forever,--
{14:17} the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.
{14:18} I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
{14:19} Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
{14:20} In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
{14:21} One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
{14:22}
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
{14:23} Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.
{14:24} He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me.
{14:25} I have said these things to you, while still living with you.
{14:26} But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
{14:27} Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
{14:28} You heard how I told you, 'I go away, and I come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said 'I am going to my Father;' for the Father is greater than I.
{14:29} Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.
{14:30} I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
{14:31} 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.
