Chapter 14

[Chapter 14]

14:1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

14:2 In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

14:4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.

14:5 Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, and 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; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.

14:8 Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.

14:9 Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, `Show us the Father'?

14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

14:11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

14:12 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.

14:13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14:14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments.

14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--

14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

14:18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

14:19 A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.

14:20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

14:21 He 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 manifest Myself to him.

14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?

14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

14:24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

14:25 These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.

14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

14:27 Peace 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.

14:28 You have heard Me say to you, `I am going away and coming 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.

14:29 And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.

14:30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here. [NKJV]
