约翰福音 14

Chinese New Version (Simplified)

耶稣是道路真理生命

14 “你们心里不要难过，你们应当信　神，也应当信我。 ²在我父的家里，有许多住的地方；如果没有，我怎么会告诉你们我去是要为你们预备地方呢？（下半节或译：“如果没有，我早就对你们说了，因为我去是为你们预备地方。”） ³我若去为你们预备地方，就必再来接你们到我那里去，好使我在哪里，你们也在哪里。 ⁴我去的地方，你们知道那条路。” ⁵多马说：“主啊，我们不知道你去的地方，怎能知道那条路呢？” ⁶耶稣对他说：“我就是道路、真理、生命，如果不是借着我，没有人能到父那里去。 ⁷如果你们认识我，就必认识我的父；从今以后，你们认识他，并且看见了他。” ⁸腓力说：“主啊，请把父显示给我们，我们就满足了。” ⁹耶稣说：“腓力，我跟你们在一起这么久了，你还不认识我吗？那看见了我的就是看见了父，你怎么还说‘把父显示给我们’呢？ ¹⁰你不信我是在父里面，父是在我里面吗？我对你们说的话，不是凭着自己说的，而是住在我里面的父作他自己的事。 ¹¹你们应当信我是在父里面，父是在我里面；不然，也要因我所作的而相信。 ¹²我实实在在告诉你们，我所作的事，信我的人也要作，并且要作比这些更大的，因为我往父那里去。 ¹³你们奉我的名无论求甚么，我必定成全，使父在子的身上得着荣耀。 ¹⁴你们若奉我的名向我求甚么，我必定成全。

耶稣求父赐下保惠师

¹⁵“如果你们爱我，就要遵守我的命令。 ¹⁶我要请求父，他就会赐给你们另一位保惠师，使他跟你们永远在一起。 ¹⁷这保惠师就是真理的灵，世人不能接受他，因为看不见他，也不认识他。你们却认识他，因为他跟你们住在一起，也要在你们里面。 ¹⁸我不会撇下你们为孤儿，我要回到你们这里来。 ¹⁹不久以后，世人不再看见我，你们却要看见我，因为我活着，你们也要活着。 ²⁰到那日，你们就知道我是在我父里面，你们是在我里面，我也在你们里面。 ²¹那领受我的命令，并且遵守的，就是爱我的；爱我的，我父必定爱他，我也要爱他，并且要亲自向他显现。” ²²犹大（不是加略人犹大）对耶稣说：“主啊，你为甚么要亲自向我们显现，不向世人显现呢？” ²³耶稣回答：“人若爱我，就要遵守我的话，我父必定爱他，并且我们要到他那里去，跟他住在一起。 ²⁴不爱我的，就不会遵守我的话。你们所听见的道，不是我的，而是那差我来的父的道。

²⁵“我还跟你们在一起的时候，就对你们讲了这些事。 ²⁶但保惠师，就是父因我的名要差来的圣灵，他要把一切事教导你们，也要使你们想起我对你们所说过的一切话。 ²⁷我留下平安给你们，我把自己的平安赐给你们；我给你们的，不像世界所给的。你们心里不要难过，也不要恐惧。 ²⁸你们听见我对你们说过：‘我去，但还要回到你们这里来。’你们若爱我，就要喜乐，因为我到父那里去，又因为父是比我大的。 ²⁹现在事情还没有发生，我就已经告诉你们，使你们在事情发生的时候可以相信。 ³⁰我不会再跟你们讲很多的事，因为这世界的统治者将到；他在我身上毫无作用， ³¹但这些事是要使世人知道我爱父，并且知道父怎样吩咐了我，我就怎样作。起来，我们走吧！”

New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Chapter 14

Last Supper Discourses. ¹^[a]“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith^[b] in God; have faith also in me. ²In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? ³^[c]And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.^(A) ⁴Where [I] am going you know the way.”^[d] ⁵Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” ⁶Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth^[e] and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.^(B) ⁷If you know me, then you will also know my Father.^[f] From now on you do know him and have seen him.”^(C) ⁸Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father,^[g] and that will be enough for us.”^(D) ⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?^(E) ¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.^(F) ¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.^(G) ¹²Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.^(H) ¹³And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.^(I) ¹⁴If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.

The Advocate. ¹⁵“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.^(J) ¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate^[h] to be with you always,^(K) ¹⁷the Spirit of truth,^[i] which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you.^(L) ¹⁸I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.^[j] ¹⁹In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live.^(M) ²⁰On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.^(N) ²¹Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”^(O) ²²Judas, not the Iscariot,^[k] said to him, “Master, [then] what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”^(P) ²³Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.^(Q) ²⁴Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.

²⁵“I have told you this while I am with you. ²⁶The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you.^(R) ²⁷Peace^[l] I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.^(S) ²⁸^[m]You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I will come back to you.’^(T) If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. ²⁹And now I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.^(U) ³⁰I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world^[n] is coming. He has no power over me, ³¹but the world must know that I love the Father and that I do just as the Father has commanded me. Get up, let us go.^(V)

Footnotes

14:1–31 Jesus’ departure and return. This section is a dialogue marked off by a literary inclusion in Jn 14:1, 27: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.”
14:1 You have faith: could also be imperative: “Have faith.”
14:3 Come back again: a rare Johannine reference to the parousia; cf. 1 Jn 2:28.
14:4 The way: here, of Jesus himself; also a designation of Christianity in Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:14, 22.
14:6 The truth: in John, the divinely revealed reality of the Father manifested in the person and works of Jesus. The possession of truth confers knowledge and liberation from sin (Jn 8:32).
14:7 An alternative reading, “If you knew me, then you would have known my Father also,” would be a rebuke, as in Jn 8:19.
14:8 Show us the Father: Philip is pictured asking for a theophany like Ex 24:9–10; 33:18.
14:16 Another Advocate: Jesus is the first advocate (paraclete); see 1 Jn 2:1, where Jesus is an advocate in the sense of intercessor in heaven. The Greek term derives from legal terminology for an advocate or defense attorney, and can mean spokesman, mediator, intercessor, comforter, consoler, although no one of these terms encompasses the meaning in John. The Paraclete in John is a teacher, a witness to Jesus, and a prosecutor of the world, who represents the continued presence on earth of the Jesus who has returned to the Father.
14:17 The Spirit of truth: this term is also used at Qumran, where it is a moral force put into a person by God, as opposed to the spirit of perversity. It is more personal in John; it will teach the realities of the new order (Jn 14:26), and testify to the truth (Jn 14:6). While it has been customary to use masculine personal pronouns in English for the Advocate, the Greek word for “spirit” is neuter, and the Greek text and manuscript variants fluctuate between masculine and neuter pronouns.
14:18 I will come to you: indwelling, not parousia.
14:22 Judas, not the Iscariot: probably not the brother of Jesus in Mk 6:3 // Mt 13:55 or the apostle named Jude in Lk 6:16, but Thomas (see note on Jn 11:16), although other readings have “Judas the Cananean.”
14:27 Peace: the traditional Hebrew salutation šālôm; but Jesus’ “Shalom” is a gift of salvation, connoting the bounty of messianic blessing.
14:28 The Father is greater than I: because he sent, gave, etc., and Jesus is “a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God” (Jn 8:40).
14:30 The ruler of the world: Satan; cf. Jn 12:31; 16:11.
