Johannes 14

Jesus är vägen till Gud

14 Låt inte era hjärtan oroas! Tro på Gud och tro på mig! 2 I min Faders hus finns det många rum och om det inte vore så, skulle jag ju inte ha sagt att jag går för att göra i ordning en plats åt er. 3 Om jag nu går bort för att göra i ordning en plats åt er, ska jag komma tillbaka och hämta er så att också ni kan vara där jag är. 4 Nu vet ni vart jag går och ni känner till vägen dit.”

5 Men Tomas sa: ”Herre, vi vet inte vart du går. Hur ska vi då kunna känna till vägen?”

6 Jesus svarade: ”Jag är vägen, sanningen och livet. Ingen kan komma till Fadern utom genom mig. 7 Om ni har lärt känna mig, ska ni också lära känna min Fader. Och ni känner honom redan och har sett honom.”

8 Filippos sa: ”Herre, visa oss Fadern, så blir vi nöjda!”

9 Jesus svarade: ”Vet du inte vem jag är, Filippos, trots att jag har varit hos er så länge? Den som har sett mig har sett Fadern. Varför ber du då att få se honom? 10 Tror du inte att jag är i Fadern och att Fadern är i mig? När jag talar till er, talar jag inte av mig själv. Fadern är i mig och utför sina gärningar. 11 Tro på mig när jag säger att jag är i Fadern och Fadern i mig, eller tro åtminstone på grund av gärningarna.

12 Ja, sannerligen säger jag er: den som tror på mig ska göra samma gärningar som jag har gjort och till och med ännu större, för jag går till Fadern. 13 Vad ni än ber om i mitt namn ska jag göra det, så att Fadern blir förhärligad genom Sonen. 14 Om ni ber om något i mitt namn, ska jag göra det.

Löftet om den heliga Anden

15 Om ni älskar mig, så håller ni mina bud. 16 Jag ska be Fadern att han sänder er en annan Hjälpare[a] som för evigt ska vara hos er, 17 sanningens Ande, som världen inte kan ta emot, för världen ser honom inte och känner honom inte. Men ni känner honom, eftersom han är hos er nu och kommer att vara i er. 18 Jag ska inte lämna er föräldralösa utan jag ska komma till er. 19 Mycket snart ska världen inte se mig längre, men ni ska se mig för jag lever och ni kommer att leva. 20 Då ska ni förstå att jag är i min Fader och ni i mig och jag i er. 21 Den som har mina bud och lyder dem han älskar mig och den som älskar mig, ska bli älskad av min Fader och jag ska älska honom och visa mig för honom.”

22 Judas (inte Judas Iskariot) sa då till honom: ”Herre, varför ska du visa dig för oss och inte för världen?”

23 Jesus svarade: ”Om någon älskar mig, så håller han sig till mina ord och då ska min Fader älska honom och vi ska komma till honom och stanna hos honom. 24 Den som inte älskar mig, håller sig inte till mina ord. Och ordet ni har fått höra kommer inte från mig utan från Fadern som har sänt mig. 25 Jag säger er detta medan jag fortfarande är hos er. 26 Men Hjälparen, den heliga Anden som Fadern ska sända i mitt namn, han ska lära er allt och påminna er om allt som jag har sagt er.

27 Jag lämnar frid efter mig, min frid ger jag åt er. Jag ger er inte det som världen ger. Låt inte era hjärtan oroas och var inte ängsliga! 28 Ni hörde mig säga till er: Jag går bort, men jag ska komma tillbaka till er. Om ni älskade mig, skulle ni vara glada över att jag går till Fadern för Fadern är större än jag. 29 Detta säger jag till er innan det händer, så att ni ska tro när det sedan händer. 30 Jag kan inte säga mycket mer till er för den här världens härskare närmar sig. Han har ingen makt över mig 31 men världen ska veta att jag älskar min Fader och gör vad Fadern har befallt mig.

Kom, så går vi härifrån!

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. 2 In 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) 4 Where [I] am going you know the way.”[d] 5 Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth[e] and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.(B) 7 If you know me, then you will also know my Father.[f] From now on you do know him and have seen him.”(C) 8 Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father,[g] and that will be enough for us.”(D) 9 Jesus 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) 10 Do 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) 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.(G) 12 Amen, 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) 13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.(I) 14 If 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) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate[h] to be with you always,(K) 17 the 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) 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.[j] 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live.(M) 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.(N) 21 Whoever 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) 22 Judas, not the Iscariot,[k] said to him, “Master, [then] what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”(P) 23 Jesus 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) 24 Whoever 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. 26 The 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) 27 Peace[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. 29 And now I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.(U) 30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world[n] is coming. He has no power over me, 31 but 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

  1. 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.”
  2. 14:1 You have faith: could also be imperative: “Have faith.”
  3. 14:3 Come back again: a rare Johannine reference to the parousia; cf. 1 Jn 2:28.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
  7. 14:8 Show us the Father: Philip is pictured asking for a theophany like Ex 24:9–10; 33:18.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 14:18 I will come to you: indwelling, not parousia.
  11. 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.”
  12. 14:27 Peace: the traditional Hebrew salutation šālôm; but Jesus’ “Shalom” is a gift of salvation, connoting the bounty of messianic blessing.
  13. 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. 14:30 The ruler of the world: Satan; cf. Jn 12:31; 16:11.

John 14
New International Version

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.(A) You believe(B) in God[a];(C) believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there(D) to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back(E) and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.(F) 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

5 Thomas(G) said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am(H) the way(I) and the truth(J) and the life.(K) No one comes to the Father except through me.(L) 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well.(M) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip(N) 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.(O) 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?(P) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(Q) 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.(R) 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes(S) in me will do the works I have been doing,(T) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask(U) 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.(V) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate(W) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.(X) The world cannot accept him,(Y) because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans;(Z) I will come to you.(AA) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(AB) Because I live, you also will live.(AC) 20 On that day(AD) you will realize that I am in my Father,(AE) and you are in me, and I am in you.(AF) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(AG) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(AH) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas(AI) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(AJ)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(AK) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(AL) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(AM)

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate,(AN) the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,(AO) will teach you all things(AP) and will remind you of everything I have said to you.(AQ) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.(AR) I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled(AS) and do not be afraid.

28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’(AT) If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,(AU) for the Father is greater than I.(AV) 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.(AW) 30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world(AX) is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.(AY)

“Come now; let us leave.
