1 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. |
2 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. |
3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. |
4 "And where I go you know, and the way you know." |
5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" |
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. |
7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." |
8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." |
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? |
10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. |
11 "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. |
12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. |
13 "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. |
14 "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. |
15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. |
16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-- |
17 "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. |
18 "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. |
19 "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. |
20 "At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. |
21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." |
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" |
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. |
24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. |
25 "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. |
26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. |
27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. |
28 "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I. |
29 "And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. |
30 "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. |
31 "But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here. |
