THE BOOK OF JOHN

 

John Chapter 14

1 ¶ Do not Let your hearts be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house there are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back, and take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also.

4 ¶ You know where I am going, and you know the way.

5 Thomas then said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?

6 Jesus replied, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but through me.

7 If you really knew me, you would also know my Father: and from now on you do know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip said, Lord, show us the Father, and that will be sufficient.

9 Jesus replied, Have I been with you all this time, without your knowing me, Philip? he who has seen me has seen the Father; how then can you say, Show us the Father?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you do not come from me: but the Father who lives in me, is carrying out his work.

11 Believe me when I say I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me on account of my works.

12 ¶ Truly, truly, I tell you, He who believes in me, will also do the works that I have been doing; and he will do greater works than these; because I am going to my Father.

13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 ¶ If you love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may remain with you forever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, or know him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and will be in you.

18 ¶ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Just a little while, and the world will not see me any more; but you see me: because I live, you too will live.

20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

21 He who has my commandments, and keeps them, loves me: and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.

22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, Lord, why is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?

23 Jesus answered, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

24 He who does not love me does not keep my sayings: and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

25 ¶ I have told you these things, while I am still present with you.

26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and cause you to remember everything that I have said to you.

27 I leave peace with you, I give my peace to you: I do not give it to you as the world gives it. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28 ¶ You have heard me say, I am going away, and I will come back to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I am going to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that, when it takes place, you might believe.

30 I will not speak with you much longer: because the prince of this world is coming, and has no claim on me.

31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; I will do as the Father commanded me. Get up, let us go.
