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。 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。”) 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。 我去的地方,你们知道那条路。” 多马说:“主啊,我们不知道你去的地方,怎能知道那条路呢?” 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。 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。” 腓力说:“主啊,请把父显示给我们,我们就满足了。” 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!”

14 He comforteth his disciples, 2, 7 declaring his divinity and the fruit of his death, 16 promising the comforter, 17 even the holy Spirit, 26 whose office he setteth out. 27 He promiseth his peace.

Let [a]not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father’s house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, [b]I would have told you: I go to [c]prepare a place for you.

[d]And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will [e]come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there may ye be also.

[f]And whither I go, ye know, and the way ye know.

Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: how can we then know the way?

Jesus said unto him, I am [g]that Way, and that Truth, and that Life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

[h]If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Philip said unto him, Lord, show us thy Father, and it sufficeth us.

Jesus said unto him, I have been so long time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me, hath seen my Father: how then sayest thou, Show us thy Father?

10 [i]Believest thou not, that I am in the Father, and the Father is 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 is in me: at the least, believe me for the very works’ sake.

12 [j]Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he shall do also, and [k]greater than these shall he do: for I go unto my Father.

13 (A)And whatsoever ye ask in my Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask anything in my Name, I will do it.

15 [l]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 forever,

17 Even the [m]Spirit of truth, whom the [n]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 fatherless: but I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more, but ye shall see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day shall ye know that I am [o]in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them: is he that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will [p]show mine own self to him.

22 [q]Judas said unto him, (not Iscariot) Lord, what is the cause that thou wilt show thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered, and said unto him, If any man love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and will dwell with him.

24 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words, and the word which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

25 [r]These things have I spoken unto you, being present with you.

26 (B)But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my Name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I have told you.

27 [s]Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor fear.

28 [t]Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and will come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would verily rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for the Father [u]is greater than I.

29 And now have I spoken unto you, before it come, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

30 [v]Hereafter will I not speak many things unto you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath [w]nought in me,

31 But it is that the world may know that I love my Father: and as the Father hath commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
