John 14

1“Do not letG3361 yourG4771 heartsG2588 be troubledG5015. You believeG4100 inG1519 GodG2316;1 believeG4100 inG1519 MeG1473 as wellG2532. 2InG1722 MyG1473 Father’sG3962 houseG3614 areG1510 manyG4183 roomsG3438. IfG1487 it were notG3361 soG302, would I have toldG2036 youG4771 thatG3754 I am goingG4198 there to prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG4771?2 3AndG2532 ifG1437 I goG4198 andG2532 prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG4771, I will comeG2064 backG3825 andG2532 welcomeG3880 youG4771 intoG4314 My presenceG1683, so thatG2443 youG4771 alsoG2532 may beG1510 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510. 4You knowG1492 theG3588 wayG3598 to the place whereG3699 IG1473 am goingG5217.3”

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

5“LordG2962,” saidG3004 ThomasG2381, “we do not knowG3756G1492 whereG4226 You are goingG5217, so howG4459 can weG1410 knowG1492 theG3588 wayG3598?”

6

JesusG2424 answeredG3004, “IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 wayG3598 andG2532 theG3588 truthG225 andG2532 theG3588 lifeG2222. No oneG3762 comesG2064 toG4314 theG3588 FatherG3962 exceptG1487G3361 throughG1223 MeG1473. 7IfG1487 you had knownG1097 MeG1473, you would knowG1492 MyG1473 FatherG3962 as wellG302. FromG575 now onG737 you do knowG1097 HimG846 andG2532 have seenG3708 HimG846.”

8PhilipG5376 saidG3004 to HimG846, “LordG2962, showG1166 usG1473 theG3588 FatherG3962, andG2532 that will be enoughG714 for usG1473.”

9

JesusG2424 repliedG3004G846, “PhilipG5376, I have beenG1510 withG3326 youG4771 all thisG5118 timeG5550, andG2532 still you do not knowG3756G1097 MeG1473? Anyone whoG3588 has seenG3708 MeG1473 has seenG3708 theG3588 FatherG3962. HowG4459 can youG4771 sayG3004, ‘ShowG1166 usG1473 theG3588 FatherG3962’? 10Do you not believeG3756G4100 thatG3754 IG1473 am inG1722 theG3588 FatherG3962 andG2532 theG3588 FatherG3962 isG1510 inG1722 MeG1473? TheG3588 wordsG4487 IG1473 sayG3004 to youG4771, I do not speakG3756G2980 onG575 My ownG1683. InsteadG1161, it is theG3588 FatherG3962 dwellingG3306 inG1722 MeG1473, performingG4160 HisG846 worksG2041. 11BelieveG4100 MeG1473 thatG3754 IG1473 am inG1722 theG3588 FatherG3962 andG2532 theG3588 FatherG3962 is inG1722 MeG1473—or at leastG1161G1487G3361 believeG4100 on account ofG1223 theG3588 worksG2041 themselvesG846.

12TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, whoeverG3588 believesG4100 inG1519 MeG1473 will also doG2548G4160 theG3588 worksG2041 thatG3739 IG1473 am doingG4160. He will doG4160 evenG2532 greaterG3173 things than theseG3778, becauseG3754 IG1473 am goingG4198 toG4314 theG3588 FatherG3962. 13AndG2532 I will doG4160 whateverG3754G302 you askG154 inG1722 MyG1473 nameG3686, so thatG2443 theG3588 FatherG3962 may be glorifiedG1392 inG1722 theG3588 SonG5207. 14IfG1437 you askG154 MeG14734 for anythingG5100 inG1722 MyG1473 nameG3686, IG1473 will doG4160 it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

(John 16:5–16)

15IfG1437 you loveG25 MeG1473, you will keepG50835 MyG1699 commandmentsG1785. 16And IG2504 will askG2065 theG3588 FatherG3962, andG2532 He will giveG1325 youG4771 anotherG243 AdvocateG38756 toG2443 beG1510 withG3326 youG4771 foreverG1519G3588G165— 17theG3588 SpiritG4151 of truthG225. TheG3588 worldG2889 cannotG3756G1410 receiveG2983 Him, becauseG3754 it neither seesG3756G2334 HimG846 norG3761 knowsG1097 Him. But youG4771 do knowG1097 HimG846, forG3754 He abidesG3306 withG3844 youG4771 andG2532 will beG1510 inG1722 youG4771.7

18I will not leaveG3756G863 youG4771 as orphansG3737; I will comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771. 19InG2089 a little whileG3398 theG3588 worldG2889 will seeG2334 MeG1473 no moreG3765, butG1161 youG4771 will seeG2334 MeG1473. BecauseG3754 IG1473 liveG2198, youG4771 alsoG2532 will liveG2198. 20OnG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 youG4771 will knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 am inG1722 MyG1473 FatherG3962, andG2532 youG4771 are inG1722 MeG1473, and IG2504 am inG1722 youG4771. 21WhoeverG3588 hasG2192 MyG1473 commandmentsG1785 andG2532 keepsG5083 themG846 isG1510 theG3588 one who lovesG25 MeG1473. TheG3588 one who lovesG25 MeG1473 will be lovedG25 byG5259 MyG1473 FatherG3962, and IG2504 will loveG25 himG846 andG2532 revealG1718 MyselfG1683 to himG846.”

22JudasG2455 (notG3756 IscariotG2469) askedG3004 HimG846, “LordG2962, whyG5101G1096G3754 are You goingG3195 to revealG1718 YourselfG4572 to usG1473 andG2532 notG3780 to theG3588 worldG2889?”

23JesusG2424 repliedG611G2532G2036G846, “IfG1437 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 MeG1473, he will keepG5083 MyG1473 wordG3056. MyG1473 FatherG3962 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 We will comeG2064 toG4314 himG846 andG2532 makeG4160 Our homeG3438 withG3844 himG846. 24WhoeverG3588 does not loveG3361G25 MeG1473 does not keepG3756G5083 MyG1473 wordsG3056. TheG3588 wordG3056 thatG3739 you hearG191 isG1510 notG3756 My ownG1699, butG235 it is from theG3588 FatherG3962 who sentG3992 MeG1473.

25All thisG3778 I have spokenG2980 to youG4771 while I am stillG3306 withG3844 youG4771. 26ButG1161 theG3588 AdvocateG3875, theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151, whomG3739 theG3588 FatherG3962 will sendG3992 inG1722 MyG1473 nameG3686, will teachG1321 youG4771 all thingsG3956 andG2532 will remind you ofG4771G5279 everythingG3956G3739 IG1473 have toldG2036 youG4771.

Peace I Leave with You

27PeaceG1515 I leaveG863 with youG4771; MyG1699 peaceG1515 I giveG1325 to youG4771. I doG1473 notG3756 giveG1325 to youG4771 asG2531 theG3588 worldG2889 givesG1325. Do not letG3361 yourG4771 heartsG2588 be troubledG5015; do notG3366 be afraidG1168. 28You heardG191 MeG1473 sayG2036, ‘I am going awayG5217, andG2532 I am comingG2064 back toG4314 youG4771.’ IfG1487 you lovedG25 MeG1473, you would rejoiceG302G5463 thatG3754 I am goingG4198 toG4314 theG3588 FatherG3962, becauseG3754 theG3588 FatherG3962 isG1510 greater thanG3173 IG1473. 29AndG2532 nowG3568 I have toldG2046 youG4771 beforeG4250 it happensG1096, so thatG2443 whenG3752 it does happenG1096, you will believeG4100.

30I will not speakG2980 withG3326 youG4771 muchG4183 longer, forG1063 theG3588 princeG758 of thisG3588 worldG2889 is comingG2064, andG2532 he hasG2192 no claimG3756G3762 onG1722 MeG1473. 31ButG235 I doG4160 exactly whatG2531 theG3588 FatherG3962 has commandedG1781 MeG1473, so thatG2443 theG3588 worldG2889 may knowG1097 thatG3754 I loveG25 theG3588 FatherG3962.

Get upG1453! Let us go onG71 from hereG1782.
