John 14

¹Don't let your hearts be troubled. You in believe in God, believe in me also. ²There are many rooms in my Father's house. If that weren't true, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and bring you along with me, so that where I myself am, there you might be also. ⁴And you know the way where I am going. ⁵Thomas says to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?" ⁶Jesus says to him, "I myself am the way, the truth and the life. Nobody can come to the father except through me. ⁷If you have known me, you have known the father also. And from now on you know him, and you have seen him. ⁸Philip says to him, "Lord, show us the father, and that will be enough for us." ⁹Jesus says to him, "I've been with you this long, and you don't know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father'? ¹⁰Do you not beve that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak, I don't speak from myself, but the Father who remains in me does His works. ¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. But if not, believe because of the works themselves. ¹²Absolutely truly I tell you, The one who believes in me will do the same works that I do, and greater works than these he will do because I am going to the Father. ¹³And whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

The Comforter

¹⁵If you love me, you will keep my commandments. ¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter/advocate, so that he might be with you forever. ¹⁷The spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it doesn't see him, neither does it know him. You know him, because he remains among you and he will be in you. ¹⁸I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you. ¹⁹In just a little time, the world will no longer see me, but you see me, because I am alive, and you will live. ²⁰In that day you yourselves will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me and I am in you. ²¹The one who has my commandments and keeps them, that one is the on who loves me. And the one taht loves me will be loved by my father, and I wll love him, and will reveal myself to him." ²²Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, "Lord, and what will happen that you are about to reveal 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 and I will go in to him and I will make a room for him. ²⁴The one who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words, and the word which you hear is not mine, but it is of the Father who sent me.

Work of the Comforter

²⁵I have spoken these things to you while remaining among you. ²⁶But the advocate/comforter, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things, and will make you remember all the things that I said to you. ²⁷I leave you peach, I give you my peace. I don't give peace to you as the world gives it to you. Don't let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. ²⁸You have heard that I said to you, 'I'm going and I will come to you. If you love me you will rejoice that I am going to the father because the father is greater than me. ²⁹And now I have told you before it happened, so that whenever it happens, you might believe. ³⁰No longer will I say many things with you, for the ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in me. ³¹But so that the world might know that I love the Father, and just as the Father commanded me, so I do. Rise up, let's go out.
