John
14
Joh 14:1 "Do not be worried and upset," Jesus told
them. "Believe in God and believe also in me.
Joh 14:2 There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare
a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so.
Joh 14:3 And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take
you to myself, so that you will be where I am.
Joh 14:4 You know the way that leads to the place where I am going."
Joh 14:5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going;
so how can we know the way to get there?"
Joh 14:6 Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no
one goes to the Father except by me.
Joh 14:7 Now that you have known me," he said to them, "you will know
my Father also, and from now on you do know him and you have seen him."
Joh 14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father; that is all we
need."
Joh 14:9 Jesus answered, "For a long time I have been with you all; yet
you do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. Why, then,
do you say, 'Show us the Father'?
Joh 14:10 Do you not believe, Philip, that I am in the Father and the Father
is in me? The words that I have spoken to you," Jesus said to his disciples,
"do not come from me. The Father, who remains in me, does his own work.
Joh 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in
me. If not, believe because of the things I do.
Joh 14:12 I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I
do---yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father.
Joh 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's
glory will be shown through the Son.
Joh 14:14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
Joh 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
Joh 14:16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will
stay with you forever.
Joh 14:17 He is the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot
receive him, because it cannot see him or know him. But you know him, because
he remains with you and is in you.
Joh 14:18 "When I go, you will not be left all alone; I will come back
to you.
Joh 14:19 In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will see
me; and because I live, you also will live.
Joh 14:20 When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father and that
you are in me, just as I am in you.
Joh 14:21 "Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones
who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and
reveal myself to them."
Joh 14:22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "Lord, how can it be that you
will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will obey my teaching.
My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with
them.
Joh 14:24 Those who do not love me do not obey my teaching. And the teaching
you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me.
Joh 14:25 "I have told you this while I am still with you.
Joh 14:26 The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.
Joh 14:27 "Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give
you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not
be afraid.
Joh 14:28 You heard me say to you, 'I am leaving, but I will come back to you.'
If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is
greater than I.
Joh 14:29 I have told you this now before it all happens, so that when it does
happen, you will believe.
Joh 14:30 I cannot talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world
is coming. He has no power over me,
Joh 14:31 but the world must know that I love the Father; that is why I do everything
as he commands me. "Come, let us go from this place.
