John 14 (English Standard Version)

John 14

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

 ^1(A) "Let not your hearts be troubled.^(B) Believe in God;^[a] believe also in me. ²In^(C) my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that^(D) I go to prepare a place for you?^{[b] 3}And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you^(E) to myself, that^(F) where I am you may be also. ⁴And you know the way to where I am going."^{[c] 5(G)} Thomas said to him, "Lord,^(H) we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" ⁶Jesus said to him, "I am^(I) the way, and^(J) the truth, and^(K) the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ^7(L) If you had known me, you would have^(M) known my Father also.^[d] From now on you do know him and^(N) have seen him."

 ^8(O) Philip said to him, "Lord,^(P) 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?^(Q) Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? ¹⁰Do you not believe that^(R) I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you^(S) I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹Believe me that^(T) I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else^(U) believe on account of the works themselves.

 ¹²"Truly, truly, I say to you,^(V) whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I^(W) am going to the Father. ^13(X) Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that^(Y) the Father may be glorified in the Son. ^14(Z) If you ask me^[e] anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

 ^15(AA) "If you love me, you will^(AB) keep my commandments. ¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another^(AC) Helper,^[f] to be with you forever, ¹⁷even^(AD) the Spirit of truth,^(AE) whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and^(AF) will be in you.

 ¹⁸"I will not leave you as orphans;^(AG) I will come to you. ^19(AH) Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but^(AI) you will see me.^(AJ) Because I live, you also will live. ^20(AK) In that day you will know that^(AL) I am in my Father, and^(AM) you in me, and^(AN) I in you. ^21(AO) Whoever has my commandments and^(AP) keeps them, he it is who loves me. And^(AQ) he who loves me^(AR) will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and^(AS) manifest myself to him." ^22(AT) Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it^(AU) that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" ²³Jesus answered him, ^(AV) "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and^(AW) we will come to him and^(AX) make our home with him. ²⁴Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And^(AY) 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. ²⁶But the^(AZ) Helper, the Holy Spirit,^(BA) whom the Father will send in my name,^(BB) he will teach you all things and^(BC) bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. ^27(BD) Peace I leave with you;^(BE) my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.^(BF) Let not your hearts be troubled, neither^(BG) let them be afraid. ^28(BH) You heard me say to you,^(BI) 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I^(BJ) am going to the Father, for^(BK) the Father is greater than I. ²⁹And^(BL) now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. ³⁰I will no longer talk much with you, for^(BM) the ruler of this world is coming.^(BN) He has no claim on me, ³¹but I do^(BO) as the Father has commanded me,^(BP) so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
