‏ John 14

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

1aDo not let your heart be troubled;
Or you believe in God, believe also
believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 In My Father’s house are many
Or dwelling places
rooms; if that were not so,
Or would I have told you that I am going...?
I would have told you, because eI am going there to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, fI am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that gwhere I am, there you also will be. 4 And you know the way where I am going.” 5 hThomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?” 6Jesus *said to him, “I am ithe way, and jthe truth, and kthe life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Oneness with the Father

7 lIf you
Two early mss have come to know...you will know
had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you nknow Him, and have oseen Him.”

8 pPhilip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9Jesus *said to him, “Have I been with
I.e., you plural, the disciples
you for so long a time, and yet
I.e., you singular, Philip
you have not come to know Me, Philip? sThe one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that tI am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? uThe words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works. 11 Believe Me that vI am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise wbelieve because of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and xgreater works than these he will do; because yI am going to the Father. 13 And zwhatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that aathe Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything abin My name, I will do it.

15acIf you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

The Holy Spirit

16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another
Or Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor
aeHelper, so that He may be with you forever;
17 the Helper is afthe Spirit of truth, agwhom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; ahI am coming to you. 19
Lit Yet a little and the world
ajAfter a little while, akthe world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; albecause I live, you also will live.
20 amOn that day you will know that anI am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. 21 aoThe one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and apthe one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will aqreveal Myself to him.” 22 arJudas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what has happened asthat You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered and said to him, atIf anyone loves Me, he will aufollow My word; and avMy Father will love him, and We awwill come to him and make Our dwelling with him. 24 The one who does not love Me axdoes not follow My words; and aythe word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you. 26 But the azHelper, the Holy Spirit bawhom the Father will send in My name, bbHe will teach you all things, and bcremind you of all that I said to you. 27 bdPeace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you.
Or Stop letting your hearts
bfDo not let your hearts be troubled, nor
Or cowardly
fearful.
28 bhYou heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and biI am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced
Or that
because bkI am going to the Father, for blthe Father is greater than I.
29 And now bmI have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will not speak much more with you, for bnthe ruler of the world is coming, and he has
I.e., no grounds for any accusation
nothing in regard to Me,
31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father,
Lit and just as the Father...so I do
I do exactly as bqthe Father commanded Me. Get up, brlet’s go from here.
