John 14:8-21

Christian Standard Bible

Jesus Reveals the Father

⁸ “Lord,” said Philip,^(A) “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father.^(B) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?^(C) The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own.^(D) The Father who lives in me does his works.^{(E) 11} Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe^[a] because of the works themselves.^(F)

Praying in Jesus’s Name

¹² “Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me^(G) will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these,^(H) because I am going to the Father.^{(I) 13} Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified^(J) in the Son.^{(K) 14} If you ask me^[b] anything in my name,^(L) I will do it.^[c](M)

Another Counselor Promised

¹⁵ “If you love me, you will keep^[d] my commands.^{(N) 16} And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor^[e](O) to be with you forever. ¹⁷ He is the Spirit^(P) of truth.^(Q) The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him. But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be^[f] in you.^(R)

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ In a little while the world will no longer see me,^(S) but you will see me.^(T) Because I live, you will live^(U) too. ²⁰ On that day you will know that I am in my Father,^(V) you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹ The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.^(W) And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father.^(X) I also will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
