John 14

New American Standard Bible 2020

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 3roomsG3438; ifG1487 that were not so, 4I would have toldG3004 you, becauseG3754 5I am goingG4198 there to prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for you. 3And ifG1437 I goG4198 and prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for you, 6I am comingG2064 againG3825 and will takeG3880 you to MyselfG1683, soG2443 thatG2443 7whereG3699 I amG1510, there you alsoG2532 will be. 4And you knowG3609 the wayG3598 whereG3699 I am goingG5217.” 58ThomasG2381 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, we do not knowG3609 whereG4226 You are goingG5217; howG4459 do we knowG3609 the wayG3598?” 6JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “I amG1510 9the wayG3598, and 10the truthG225, and 11the lifeG2222; noG3762 oneG3762 comesG2064 to the FatherG3962 exceptG1487G3361 throughG1223 Me.

Oneness with the Father

712IfG1487 you 13had knownG1097 Me, you would have knownG3609 My FatherG3962 alsoG2532; from nowG737 on you 14knowG1097 Him, and have 15seenG3708 Him.”

816PhilipG5376 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, showG1166 us the FatherG3962, and it is enoughG714 for us.” 9JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “Have I beenG1510 with 17you for soG5118 longG5118 a timeG5550, and yet 18you have not come to knowG1097 Me, PhilipG5376? 19The one who has seenG3708 Me has seenG3708 the FatherG3962; howG4459 can you sayG3004, ‘ShowG1166 us the FatherG3962’? 10Do you not believeG4100 that 20I am in the FatherG3962, and the FatherG3962 is in Me? 21The wordsG4487 that I sayG3004 to you I do not speakG2980 on My ownG1683, but the FatherG3962, as He remainsG3306 in Me, doesG4160 His worksG2041. 11BelieveG4100 Me that 22I am in the FatherG3962 and the FatherG3962 is in Me; otherwiseG1490 23believeG4100 becauseG1223 of the worksG2041 themselvesG846. 12TrulyG281, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, the one who believesG4100 in Me, the worksG2041 that I doG4160, he will doG4160 alsoG2548; and 24greaterG3173 works than theseG3778 he will doG4160; becauseG3754 25I am goingG4198 to the FatherG3962. 13And 26whateverG3739 you askG154 in My nameG3686, thisG3778 I will doG4160, soG2443 thatG2443 27the FatherG3962 may be glorifiedG1392 in the SonG5207. 14IfG1437 you askG154 Me anythingG5100 28in My nameG3686, I will doG4160 it.

15“29IfG1437 you loveG25 Me, you will keepG5083 My commandmentsG1785.

The Holy Spirit

16I will askG2065 the FatherG3962, and He will giveG1325 you anotherG243 3031HelperG3875, soG2443 thatG2443 He may be with you foreverG165; 17the Helper is 32the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, 33whomG3739 the worldG2889 cannotG1410G3756 receiveG2983, becauseG3754 it does not seeG2334 Him orG3761 knowG1097 Him; but you knowG1097 Him becauseG3754 He remainsG3306 with you and will be in you.

18“I will not leaveG863 you as orphansG3737; 34I am comingG2064 to you. 193536AfterG2089 a littleG3398 whileG3398, 37the worldG2889 noG3765 longerG3765 is going to seeG2334 Me, but you are going to seeG2334 Me; 38becauseG3754 I liveG2198, you alsoG2532 will liveG2198. 2039On that dayG2250 you will knowG1097 that 40I am in My FatherG3962, and you are in Me, and I in you. 2141The one who hasG2192 My commandmentsG1785 and keepsG5083 them is the oneG1565 who lovesG25 Me; and 42the one who lovesG25 Me will be lovedG25 by My FatherG3962, and I will loveG25 him and will 43revealG1718 MyselfG1683 to him.” 2244JudasG2455 (not IscariotG2469) saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, whatG5101 has happenedG1096 45that You areG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 revealG1718 YourselfG4572 to us and not to the worldG2889?” 23JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “46IfG1437 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 Me, he will 47followG5083 My wordG3056; and 48My FatherG3962 will loveG25 him, and We 49will comeG2064 to him and makeG4160 Our dwellingG3438 with him. 24The one who does not loveG25 Me 50does not followG5083 My wordsG3056; and 51the wordG3056 whichG3739 you hearG191 is not MineG1699, but the Father’sG3962 who sentG3992 Me.

25“TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 to you while remainingG3306 with you. 26But the 52HelperG3875, the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 53whomG3739 the FatherG3962 will sendG3992 in My nameG3686, 54He will teachG1321 you allG3956 thingsG3956, and 55remindG5279 you of allG3956 that I saidG3004 to you. 2756PeaceG1515 I leaveG863 you, My peaceG1515 I giveG1325 you; not as the worldG2889 givesG1325, do I giveG1325 to you. 5758Do not let your heartsG2588 be troubledG5015, norG3366 59fearfulG1168. 2860You heardG191 that I saidG3004 to you, ‘I am goingG5217 awayG5217, and 61I am comingG2064 to you.’ IfG1487 you lovedG25 Me, you would have rejoicedG5463 62becauseG3754 63I am goingG4198 to the FatherG3962, for 64the FatherG3962 is greaterG3173 than I. 29And nowG3568 65I have toldG3004 you beforeG4250 it happensG1096, soG2443 thatG2443 whenG3752 it happensG1096, you may believeG4100. 30I will not speakG2980 muchG4183 moreG3765 with you, for 66the rulerG758 of the worldG2889 is comingG2064, and he hasG2192 67nothingG3756G3762 in regard to Me, 31but soG2443 thatG2443 the worldG2889 may knowG1097 that I loveG25 the FatherG3962, 68I doG4160 exactlyG3779 as 69the FatherG3962 commandedG1781 Me. GetG1453 upG1453, 70let’s goG71 fromG1782 hereG1782.
