John 14

New American Standard Bible 1995

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

1“1Do not let your heartG2588 be troubledG5015; 2believeG4100 in GodG2316, believeG4100 alsoG2532 in Me. 2In My Father’sG3962 houseG3614 are manyG4183 dwellingG3438 placesG3438; ifG1487 it were not so, I would have toldG3004 you; for 3I goG4198 to prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for you. 3IfG1437 I goG4198 and prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for you, 4I will comeG2064 againG3825 and receiveG3880 you to MyselfG1683, that 5whereG3699 I amG1510, there you may be alsoG2532. 4And you knowG3609 the wayG3598 whereG3699 I am goingG5217.” 56ThomasG2381 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, we do not knowG3609 whereG4226 You are goingG5217, howG4459 do we knowG3609 the wayG3598?” 6JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “I amG1510 7the wayG3598, and 8the truthG225, and 9the lifeG2222; noG3762 oneG3762 comesG2064 to the FatherG3962 but throughG1223 Me.

Oneness with the Father

710IfG1487 you had knownG1097 Me, you would have knownG3609 My FatherG3962 alsoG2532; from nowG737 on you 11knowG1097 Him, and have 12seenG3708 Him.”

813PhilipG5376 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, showG1166 us the FatherG3962, and it is enoughG714 for us.” 9JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “Have I beenG1510 soG5118 longG5118G5550 with you, and yet you have not come to knowG1097 Me, PhilipG5376? 14He who has seenG3708 Me has seenG3708 the FatherG3962; howG4459 can you sayG3004, ‘ShowG1166 us the FatherG3962’? 10Do you not believeG4100 that 15I am in the FatherG3962, and the FatherG3962 is in Me? 16The wordsG4487 that I sayG3004 to you I do not speakG2980 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but the FatherG3962 abidingG3306 in Me doesG4160 His worksG2041. 11BelieveG4100 Me that 17I am in the FatherG3962 and the FatherG3962 is in Me; otherwiseG1490 18believeG4100 becauseG1223 of the worksG2041 themselvesG846. 12TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, he who believesG4100 in Me, the worksG2041 that I doG4160, he will doG4160 alsoG2548; and 19greaterG3173 works than theseG3778 he will doG4160; becauseG3754 20I goG4198 to the FatherG3962. 1321WhateverG3739 you askG154 in My nameG3686, that will I doG4160, soG2443 that 22the FatherG3962 may be glorifiedG1392 in the SonG5207. 14IfG1437 you askG154 Me anythingG5100 23in My nameG3686, I will doG4160 it.

15“24IfG1437 you loveG25 Me, you will keepG5083 My commandmentsG1785.

Role of the Spirit

16I will askG2065 the FatherG3962, and He will giveG1325 you anotherG243 2526HelperG3875, that He may be with you foreverG165; 17that is 27the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, 28whomG3739 the worldG2889 cannotG1410G3756 receiveG2983, becauseG3754 it does not seeG2334 Him orG3761 knowG1097 Him, but you knowG1097 Him becauseG3754 He abidesG3306 with you and will be in you.

18“I will not leaveG863 you as orphansG3737; 29I will comeG2064 to you. 193031AfterG2089 a littleG3398 whileG3398 32the worldG2889 will noG3765 longerG3765 seeG2334 Me, but you will seeG2334 Me; 33becauseG3754 I liveG2198, you will liveG2198 alsoG2532. 2034In that dayG2250 you will knowG1097 that 35I am in My FatherG3962, and you in Me, and I in you. 2136He who hasG2192 My commandmentsG1785 and keepsG5083 them is the oneG1565 who lovesG25 Me; and 37he who lovesG25 Me will be lovedG25 by My FatherG3962, and I will loveG25 him and will 38discloseG1718 MyselfG1683 to him.” 2239JudasG2455 (not IscariotG2469) saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, whatG5101 thenG2532 has happenedG1096 40that You are goingG3195 to discloseG1718 YourselfG4572 to us and not to the worldG2889?” 23JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “41IfG1437 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 Me, he will 42keepG5083 My wordG3056; and 43My FatherG3962 will loveG25 him, and We 44will comeG2064 to him and makeG4160 Our abodeG3438 with him. 24He who does not loveG25 Me 45does not keepG5083 My wordsG3056; and 46the wordG3056 whichG3739 you hearG191 is not MineG1699, but the Father’sG3962 who sentG3992 Me.

25“TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 to you while abidingG3306 with you. 26But the 47HelperG3875, the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, 48whomG3739 the FatherG3962 will sendG3992 in My nameG3686, 49He will teachG1321 you allG3956 thingsG3956, and 50bringG5279 to your remembranceG5279 allG3956 that I saidG3004 to you. 2751PeaceG1515 I leaveG863 with you; My peaceG1515 I giveG1325 to you; not as the worldG2889 givesG1325 do I giveG1325 to you. 52Do not let your heartG2588 be troubledG5015, norG3366 let it be fearfulG1168. 2853You heardG191 that I saidG3004 to you, ‘I goG5217 awayG5217, and 54I will comeG2064 to you.’ IfG1487 you lovedG25 Me, you would have rejoicedG5463 becauseG3754 55I goG4198 to the FatherG3962, for 56the FatherG3962 is greaterG3173 than I. 29NowG3568 57I have toldG3004 you beforeG4250 it happensG1096, soG2443 that whenG3752 it happensG1096, you may believeG4100. 30I will not speakG2980 muchG4183 moreG3765 with you, for 58the rulerG758 of the worldG2889 is comingG2064, and he hasG2192 nothingG3756G3762 in Me; 31but soG3779 that the worldG2889 may knowG1097 that I loveG25 the FatherG3962, 59I doG4160 exactlyG3779 as 60the FatherG3962 commandedG1781 Me. GetG1453 up, 61let us goG71 from hereG1782.
