John 14

Jesus’ Farewell Discourse
14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe[a] in God; believe[b] also in me. 2 In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because[c] I am going away to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also. 4 And you know the way where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How are we able to know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known[d] my Father also. From now on[e] you know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself, but the Father residing in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in me, the works that I am doing he will do also, and he will do greater works[f] than these because I am going to the Father. 13 And whatever[g] you ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.[h]
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever[i]— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him.[j] You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. 19 Yet a little time and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, why[k] is it that you are going to reveal 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, and we will come to him and will take up residence with him.[l] 24 The one who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me. 25 These things I have spoken to you while[m] residing with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name—that one will teach you all things, and will remind you of everything that I said to you.
27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you—not as the world gives, I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them[n] be afraid. 28 You have heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am. 29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has no power[o] over[p] me. 31 But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!

Îmbărbătarea ucenicilor
14 „Să nu(A) vi se tulbure inima. Aveţi credinţă în Dumnezeu şi aveţi credinţă în Mine. 2 În casa Tatălui Meu sunt multe locaşuri. Dacă n-ar fi aşa, v-aş fi spus. Eu(B) Mă duc să vă pregătesc un loc. 3 Şi după ce Mă voi duce şi vă voi pregăti un loc, Mă voi întoarce(C) şi vă voi lua cu Mine, ca(D) acolo unde sunt Eu, să fiţi şi voi. 4 Ştiţi unde Mă duc şi ştiţi şi calea într-acolo.” 5 „Doamne”, I-a zis Toma, „nu ştim unde Te duci. Cum putem să ştim calea într-acolo?” 6 Isus i-a zis: „Eu sunt Calea(E), Adevărul(F)şi Viaţa(G). Nimeni(H) nu vine la Tatăl decât prin Mine. 7 Dacă(I) m-aţi fi cunoscut pe Mine, aţi fi cunoscut şi pe Tatăl Meu. Şi de acum încolo Îl veţi cunoaşte, şi L-aţi şi văzut.” 8 „Doamne”, i-a zis Filip, „arată-ne pe Tatăl şi ne este de ajuns”. 9 Isus i-a zis: „De atâta vreme sunt cu voi şi nu M-ai cunoscut, Filipe? Cine(J)M-a văzut pe Mine a văzut pe Tatăl. Cum zici tu dar: ‘Arată-ne pe Tatăl’? 10 Nu crezi că Eu(K) sunt în Tatăl şi Tatăl este în Mine? Cuvintele pe care vi le spun Eu, nu(L)le spun de la Mine, ci Tatăl, care locuieşte în Mine, El face aceste lucrări ale Lui. 11 Credeţi-Mă că Eu sunt în Tatăl şi Tatăl este în Mine; credeţi(M)cel puţin pentru lucrările acestea. 12 Adevărat(N), adevărat vă spun că cine crede în Mine va face şi el lucrările pe care le fac Eu; ba încă va face altele şi mai mari decât acestea, pentru că Eu mă duc la Tatăl, 13 şi(O) ori ce veţi cere în Numele Meu, voi face, pentru ca Tatăl să fie proslăvit în Fiul. 14 Dacă veţi cere ceva în Numele Meu, voi face.
Păzirea poruncilor
15 Dacă(P) Mă iubiţi, veţi păzi poruncile Mele. 16 Şi Eu voi ruga pe Tatăl, şi El vă va da un alt(Q) Mângâietor[a], care să rămână cu voi în veac; 17 şi anume Duhul(R) adevărului, pe(S)care lumea nu-L poate primi, pentru că nu-L vede şi nu-L cunoaşte, dar voi Îl cunoaşteţi, căci rămâne cu voi şi(T)va fi în voi. 18 Nu(U)vă voi lăsa orfani, Mă voi(V) întoarce la voi. 19 Peste puţină vreme, lumea nu Mă va mai vedea, dar voi(W) Mă veţi vedea, pentru că(X) Eu trăiesc şi voi veţi trăi. 20 În ziua aceea, veţi cunoaşte că Eu(Y) sunt în Tatăl Meu, că voi sunteţi în Mine şi că Eu sunt în voi. 21 Cine(Z) are poruncile Mele şi le păzeşte, acela Mă iubeşte şi cine Mă iubeşte va fi iubit de Tatăl Meu. Eu îl voi iubi şi Mă voi arăta lui.” 22 Iuda, nu Iscarioteanul, I-a zis(AA): „Doamne, cum se face că Te vei arăta nouă, şi nu lumii?” 23 Drept răspuns, Isus i-a zis: „Dacă(AB) Mă iubeşte cineva, va păzi cuvântul Meu, şi Tatăl Meu îl va iubi. Noi vom veni la el şi(AC) vom locui împreună cu el. 24 Cine nu Mă iubeşte nu păzeşte cuvintele Mele. Şi cuvântul(AD) pe care-l auziţi nu este al Meu, ci al Tatălui, care M-a trimis. 25 V-am spus aceste lucruri cât mai sunt cu voi. 26 Dar Mângâietorul(AE), adică Duhul Sfânt, pe care-L va trimite Tatăl în Numele Meu, vă(AF)va învăţa toate lucrurile şi vă va aduce aminte de tot ce v-am spus Eu. 27 Vă las pacea(AG), vă dau pacea Mea. Nu v-o dau cum o dă lumea. Să(AH) nu vi se tulbure inima, nici să nu se înspăimânte. 28 Aţi auzit că v-am(AI)spus: ‘Mă duc(AJ)şi Mă voi întoarce la voi’. Dacă M-aţi iubi, v-aţi fi bucurat că v-am zis: ‘Mă duc la Tatăl’, căci Tatăl(AK)este mai mare decât Mine. 29 Şi v-am spus aceste lucruri acum(AL), înainte ca să se întâmple, pentru ca, atunci când se vor întâmpla, să credeţi. 30 Nu voi mai vorbi mult cu voi, căci(AM) vine stăpânitorul lumii acesteia. El n-are nimic în Mine, 31 dar vine pentru ca să cunoască lumea că Eu iubesc pe Tatăl şi că fac aşa cum(AN) Mi-a poruncit Tatăl. Sculaţi-vă, haidem să plecăm de aici!”

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.
