John 14

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

1“1Do not let your heart be troubled; 2believe in God, believe also in Me. 2In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for 3I go to prepare a place for you. 3If I go and prepare a place for you, 4I will come again and receive you to Myself, that 5where I am, there you may be also. 4And you know the way where I am going.” 56Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am 7the way, and 8the truth, and 9the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Oneness with the Father

710If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you 11know Him, and have 12seen Him.”

813Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? 14He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do you not believe that 15I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? 16The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. 11Believe Me that 17I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise 18believe because of the works themselves. 12Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and 19greater works than these he will do; because 20I go to the Father. 1321Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that 22the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask Me anything 23in My name, I will do it.

15“24If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Role of the Spirit

16I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 2526Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is 27the Spirit of truth, 28whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

18“I will not leave you as orphans; 29I will come to you. 193031After a little while 32the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; 33because I live, you will live also. 2034In that day you will know that 35I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 2136He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and 37he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will 38disclose Myself to him.” 2239Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened 40that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered and said to him, “41If anyone loves Me, he will 42keep My word; and 43My Father will love him, and We 44will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24He who does not love Me 45does not keep My words; and 46the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

25“These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26But the 47Helper, the Holy Spirit, 48whom the Father will send in My name, 49He will teach you all things, and 50bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. 2751Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. 52Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. 2853You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and 54I will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because 55I go to the Father, for 56the Father is greater than I. 29Now 57I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30I will not speak much more with you, for 58the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; 31but so that the world may know that I love the Father, 59I do exactly as 60the Father commanded Me. Get up, 61let us go from here.
