John 14:2-31

2In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for 1I go to prepare a place for you. 3If I go and prepare a place for you, 2I will come again and receive you to Myself, that 3where I am, there you may be also. 4And you know the way where I am going.” 5 4Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am 5the way, and 6the truth, and 7the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. 7 8If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you 9know Him, and have 10seen Him.”

8 11Philip 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? 12He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do you not believe that 13I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? 14The 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 15I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise 16believe 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 17greater works than these he will do; because 18I go to the Father. 13 19Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that 20the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask Me anything 21in My name, I will do it.

15“22If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 23 24Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is 25the Spirit of truth, 26whom 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; 27I will come to you. 19 28 29After a little while 30the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; 31because I live, you will live also. 20 32In that day you will know that 33I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 34He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and 35he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will 36disclose Myself to him.” 22 37Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened 38that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered and said to him, “39If anyone loves Me, he will 40keep My word; and 41My Father will love him, and We 42will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24He who does not love Me 43does not keep My words; and 44the 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 45Helper, the Holy Spirit, 46whom the Father will send in My name, 47He will teach you all things, and 48bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. 27 49Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. 50Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. 28 51You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and 52I will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because 53I go to the Father, for 54the Father is greater than I. 29Now 55I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30I will not speak much more with you, for 56the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; 31but so that the world may know that I love the Father, 57I do exactly as 58the Father commanded Me. Get up, 59let us go from here.
