JOHN 14 [†] d “Let not your hearts be troubled.  e Believe in God; [1] believe also in me. 2[†]In  f my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that  g I go to prepare a place for you? [2] 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you  h to myself, that  i where I am you may be also. 4And you know the way to where I am going.” [3] 5 j Thomas said to him, “Lord,  k we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6[†]Jesus said to him, “I am  l the way, and  m the truth, and  n the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 o If you had known me, you would have  p known my Father also. [4] From now on you do know him and  q have seen him.”

8[†] r Philip said to him, “Lord,  s show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip?  t Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10[†]Do you not believe that  u I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you  v I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11[†]Believe me that  u I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else  w believe on account of the works themselves.

12[†]“Truly, truly, I say to you,  x whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I  y am going to the Father. 13[†] z Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that  a the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14[†] z If you ask me [5] anything in my name, I will do it.

15[†] b “If you love me, you will  c keep my commandments. 16[†]And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another  d Helper, [6] to be with you forever, 17even  e the Spirit of truth,  f whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and  g will be [7] in you.

18[†]“I will not leave you as orphans;  h I will come to you. 19 i Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but  j you will see me.  k Because I live, you also will live. 20 l In that day you will know that  m I am in my Father, and  n you in me, and  o I in you. 21[†] p Whoever has my commandments and  q keeps them, he it is who loves me. And  r he who loves me  s will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and  t manifest myself to him.” 22[†] u Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it  v that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23[†]Jesus answered him,  w “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and  x we will come to him and  y make our home with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And  z the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

25“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26[†]But the  a Helper, the Holy Spirit,  b whom the Father will send in my name,  c he will teach you all things and  d bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27[†] e Peace I leave with you;  f my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.  g Let not your hearts be troubled, neither  h let them be afraid. 28[†] i You heard me say to you,  j ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I  k am going to the Father, for  l the Father is greater than I. 29And  m now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30[†]I will no longer talk much with you, for  n the ruler of this world is coming.  o He has no claim on me, 31[†]but I do  p as the Father has commanded me,  q so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
