John 14:8-21
New International Version
John 14:8-21
New International Version
8 Philip(A) said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.(B) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?(C) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(D) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.(E) 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes(F) in me will do the works I have been doing,(G) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask(H) in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, keep my commands.(I) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate(J) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.(K) The world cannot accept him,(L) because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans;(M) I will come to you.(N) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(O) Because I live, you also will live.(P) 20 On that day(Q) you will realize that I am in my Father,(R) and you are in me, and I am in you.(S) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(T) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(U) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

King James Version
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to 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? (A)He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that (B)I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you (C)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, (D)or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
The Answered Prayer
12 (E)“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 (F)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be (G)glorified in the Son. 14 If you [a]ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Jesus Promises Another Helper
15 (H)“If you love Me, [b]keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and (I)He will give you another [c]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 (J)the Spirit of truth, (K)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you (L)and will be in you. 18 (M)I will not leave you orphans; (N)I will come to you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but (O)you will see Me.

And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and [d]manifest Myself to him.”
