Johannes 14
En Levende Bok
Jesus er veien til Gud
14 Jesus sa: ”Vær ikke urolige, men stol på Gud og stol på meg. 2-3 I huset til min Far i himmelen finnes det mange rom. Jeg går nå i forveien for å gjøre i stand et sted til dere. Stol på at dette stemmer etter som det er jeg som sier det til dere. Når alt er ferdig, skal jeg komme tilbake og hente dere, slik at også dere kan være der jeg er. 4 Nå vet dere hvor jeg går, og dere kjenner veien som fører dit.”
5 Tomas sa: ”Herre, vi har fortsatt ingen anelse om hvor du går. Hvordan kan vi da kjenne veien?”
6 Jesus svarte: ”Jeg er veien til Far i himmelen, og jeg har vist hvem han virkelig er. Jeg er den som gir liv. Ingen kan komme til Far i himmelen uten ved meg. 7 Dersom dere har lært å kjenne meg, da skal dere også lære å kjenne min Far i himmelen. Dere kjenner ham allerede og har sett ham.”
8 Filip sa: ”Herre, vis oss Far i himmelen, så skal vi være fornøyd.”
9 Jesus svarte: ”Vet du ikke hvem jeg er, Filip, og det til tross for at jeg har vært hos dere så lenge? Den som har sett meg, har sett Far i himmelen. Hvorfor ber du da om å få se ham? 10 Tror du ikke at jeg er i min Far i himmelen, og at min Far i himmelen er i meg? Når jeg snakker med dere, da er det ikke mine egne tanker jeg kommer med. Nei, det er min Far i himmelen som er i meg og handler gjennom meg. 11 Tro på meg når jeg sier at jeg er i min Far i himmelen, og at min Far i himmelen er i meg. Tro det i det minste på grunn av de miraklene dere har sett skje gjennom meg.
12 Jeg forsikrer dere at den som tror på meg, skal gjøre de samme miraklene som jeg har gjort. Ja, til og med enda større, for jeg går for å være hos min Far i himmelen. 13 Dere som tilhører meg, kan be om hva som helst,[a] og jeg skal gjøre det, slik at Far i himmelen blir opphøyd og æret på grunn av det som Sønnen gjør for dere. 14 Ja, dersom dere ber om noe i navnet mitt, da skal jeg gjøre det.”
Løftet om Guds Hellige Ånd
15 Jesus fortsatte: ”Dersom dere elsker meg, da er dere lydige mot det jeg har bedt dere om å gjøre. 16 Jeg skal be min Far i himmelen om å sende dere en annen Hjelper, en som for alltid skal være hos dere. 17 Dette er Guds egen Ånd som forklarer sannheten om ham. De som ikke tror på Gud, kan ikke ta imot ham, for de ser han ikke og kjenner han heller ikke. Men dere kjenner ham, etter som han er hos dere nå og kommer til å være i dere. 18 Nei, jeg skal ikke forlate dere som foreldreløse barn, men jeg vil komme til dere. 19 Om kort tid kan ingen her i verden se meg lenger, men dere skal se meg, for jeg skal bli levende igjen. Gjennom det skal dere også få liv. 20 Når jeg har stått opp fra de døde, skal dere forstå at jeg er i min Far i himmelen, og at dere er i meg, og jeg i dere. 21 Den som har hørt mine befalinger og er lydige mot det jeg sier, han elsker meg, og den som elsker meg, vil bli elsket av min Far i himmelen, og jeg vil elske han og vise meg for ham.”
22 Judas, ikke Judas Iskariot, men den andre disippelen med samme navn, sa da til ham: ”Herre, hvorfor vil du bare vise deg for oss og ikke for alle?”
23 Jesus svarte: ”Dersom noen elsker meg, da lever han i tråd med undervisningen min, og da vil min Far i himmelen elske ham, og min Far i himmelen og jeg vil komme til ham og bli hos ham. 24 Den som ikke elsker meg, lever ikke i tråd med undervisningen min. Husk på at budskapet dere har fått høre fra meg, er ikke mine egne tanker, men det kommer fra min Far i himmelen som har sendt meg. 25 Jeg sier dere dette mens jeg fortsatt er hos dere. 26 Men når min Far i himmelen har sendt dere Hjelperen, sin Hellige Ånd, som skal være hos dere i mitt sted, da skal Hjelperen lære dere alt og minne dere om alt som jeg har lært dere.
27 Jeg etterlater meg en gave, og det er fred. Dere skal få av min fred, den freden som ingen her i verden kan gi dere. Derfor skal dere ikke være urolige og redde. 28 Husk på at jeg sa til dere: ’Jeg går bort, men jeg skal komme tilbake til dere.’ Dersom dere virkelig elsker meg, vær da glade over at jeg kan gå til min Far i himmelen, for min Far i himmelen er større enn jeg. 29 Dette har jeg fortalt til dere før det skjer, slik at dere kan tro på meg når det om ikke lenge vil skje.
30 Jeg kan ikke snakke med dere så mye lenger, for Satan, høvdingen i denne verden, nærmer seg. Han har ingen makt over meg, 31 men jeg skal gjøre det som min Far i himmelen har bestemt skal skje med meg. Det skjer for at menneskene skal forstå at jeg elsker min Far i himmelen. Kom, nå går vi fra dette stedet.”

John 14
New King James Version
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
14 “Let (A)not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. (B)I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, (C)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that (D)where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 (E)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 (F)the way, (G)the truth, and (H)the life. (I)No one comes to the Father (J)except through Me.
The Father Revealed
7 (K)“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? (L)He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that (M)I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you (N)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, (O)or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
The Answered Prayer
12 (P)“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 (Q)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be (R)glorified in the Son. 14 If you [c]ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Jesus Promises Another Helper
15 (S)“If you love Me, [d]keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and (T)He will give you another [e]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 (U)the Spirit of truth, (V)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you (W)and will be in you. 18 (X)I will not leave you orphans; (Y)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 (Z)you will see Me. (AA)Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that (AB)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 (AC)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 [f]manifest Myself to him.”
22 (AD)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, (AE)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 (AF)the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
The Gift of His Peace
25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But (AG)the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will (AH)send in My name, (AI)He will teach you all things, and bring to your (AJ)remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 (AK)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 (AL)say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [h]I said, (AM)‘I am going to the Father,’ for (AN)My Father is greater than I.
29 “And (AO)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, (AP)for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has (AQ)nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and (AR)as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

English Standard Version
I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life
14 (A)“Let not your hearts be troubled. (B)Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2 In (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. 4 And 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?” 6 Jesus 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.” 9 Jesus 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’? 10 Do 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. 11 Believe 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. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another (AC)Helper,[f] to be with you forever, 17 even (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[g] 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?” 23 Jesus 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. 24 Whoever 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. 26 But 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. 29 And (BL)now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for (BM)the ruler of this world is coming. (BN)He has no claim on me, 31 but 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.
