Common English Bible

The way, the truth, and the life

14 “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in me. 2 My Father’s house has room to spare. If that weren’t the case, would I have told you that I’m going to prepare a place for you? 3 When I go to prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me so that where I am you will be too. 4 You know the way to the place I’m going.”

5 Thomas asked, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you have really known me, you will also know the Father. From now on you know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father; that will be enough for us.”

9 Jesus replied, “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been with you all this time? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. 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? The words I have spoken to you I don’t speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Trust me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or at least believe on account of the works themselves. 12 I assure you that whoever believes in me will do the works that I do. They will do even greater works than these because I am going to the Father. 13 I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father can be glorified in the Son. 14 When you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.

I won’t leave you as orphans

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion,[a] who will be with you forever. 17 This Companion is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can’t receive because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be with you.

18 “I won’t leave you as orphans. I will come to you. 19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.”

22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot) asked, “Lord, why are you about to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered, “Whoever loves me will keep my word. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Whoever doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word that you hear isn’t mine. It is the word of the Father who sent me.

25 “I have spoken these things to you while I am with you. 26 The Companion,[b] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you.

27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I give to you not as the world gives. Don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 You have heard me tell you, ‘I’m going away and returning to you.’ If you loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than me. 29 I have told you before it happens so that when it happens you will believe. 30 I won’t say much more to you because this world’s ruler is coming. He has nothing on me. 31 Rather, he comes so that the world will know that I love the Father and do just as the Father has commanded me. Get up. We’re leaving this place.

GOD’S WORD Translation

Jesus Promises to Send the Holy Spirit

14 “Don’t be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms. If that were not true, would I have told you that I’m going to prepare a place for you? 3 If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again. Then I will bring you into my presence so that you will be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you’re going. So how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me. 7 If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him ⌞through me⌟ and have seen him ⌞in me⌟.”

8 Philip said to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us.”

9 Jesus replied, “I have been with all of you for a long time. Don’t you know me yet, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So 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? What I’m telling you doesn’t come from me. The Father, who lives in me, does what he wants. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me because of the things I do.

12 “I can guarantee this truth: Those who believe in me will do the things that I am doing. They will do even greater things because I am going to the Father. 13 I will do anything you ask ⌞the Father⌟ in my name so that the Father will be given glory because of the Son. 14 If you ask me to do something, I will do it.

15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever. 17 That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn’t see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you. 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you. 21 Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father’s love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Jesus, “Lord, what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will go to them and make our home with them. 24 A person who doesn’t love me doesn’t do what I say. I don’t make up what you hear me say. What I say comes from the Father who sent me.

25 “I have told you this while I’m still with you. 26 However, the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything. He will remind you of everything that I have ever told you.

27 “I’m leaving you peace. I’m giving you my peace. I don’t give you the kind of peace that the world gives. So don’t be troubled or cowardly. 28 You heard me tell you, ‘I’m going away, but I’m coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I’m going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

29 “I’m telling you this now before it happens. When it does happen, you will believe. 30 The ruler of this world has no power over me. But he’s coming, so I won’t talk with you much longer. 31 However, I want the world to know that I love the Father and that I am doing exactly what the Father has commanded me to do. Get up! We have to leave.”

Ioan 14
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română

Isus, calea spre Tatăl

14 Să nu vi se tulbure inima! Credeţi în Dumnezeu şi credeţi în Mine![a] 2 În casa Tatălui Meu sunt multe locuinţe. Dacă n-ar fi aşa, v-aş fi spus. Eu[b] Mă duc să vă pregătesc un loc.[c] 3 Iar dacă Mă voi duce şi vă voi pregăti un loc, Mă voi întoarce şi vă voi lua cu Mine, ca acolo unde sunt Eu, să fiţi şi voi. 4 Ştiţi calea spre locul unde Mă duc Eu.[d]

5 Toma I-a zis:

– Doamne, nu ştim unde Te duci; cum putem să ştim calea?!

6 Isus i-a răspuns:

– Eu sunt calea, adevărul şi viaţa.[e] Nimeni nu vine la Tatăl decât prin Mine. 7 Dacă M-aţi cunoscut pe Mine, Îl veţi cunoaşte şi pe Tatăl Meu.[f] Şi de acum Îl cunoaşteţi şi L-aţi văzut.

8 Filip I-a zis:

– Doamne, arată-ni-L pe Tatăl şi ne este de ajuns!

9 Isus i-a răspuns:

– De atâta timp sunt cu voi şi nu M-ai cunoscut, Filip? Cel ce M-a văzut pe Mine L-a văzut pe Tatăl. Cum de spui: „Arată-ni-L pe Tatăl!“?! 10 Nu crezi că Eu sunt în Tatăl şi Tatăl este în Mine? Cuvintele pe care vi le spun nu le spun de la Mine, ci Tatăl, Care locuieşte în Mine, Îşi face lucrările Lui. 11 Credeţi-Mă că Eu sunt în Tatăl şi Tatăl în Mine! Dacă nu, credeţi măcar datorită lucrărilor înseşi! 12 Adevărat, adevărat vă spun că cel ce crede în Mine va face şi el lucrările pe care le fac Eu, ba încă va face lucrări mai mari decât acestea, pentru că Eu Mă duc la Tatăl; 13 şi orice 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.

Promisiunea Duhului Sfânt

15 Dacă Mă iubiţi, veţi păzi poruncile Mele. 16 Iar Eu Îl voi ruga pe Tatăl şi El vă va da un alt Apărător[g], Care să fie cu voi în veac, şi anume 17 Duhul adevărului, pe Care lumea nu-L poate primi, pentru că nici nu-L vede, nici nu-L cunoaşte. Voi Îl cunoaşteţi, pentru că rămâne cu voi şi va fi[h] în voi. 18 Nu vă voi lăsa orfani; voi veni iarăşi la voi. 19 Încă puţin, şi lumea nu Mă va mai vedea, însă voi Mă veţi vedea; pentru că Eu trăiesc, şi voi veţi trăi. 20 În ziua aceea veţi cunoaşte că Eu sunt în Tatăl Meu, voi în Mine şi Eu în voi. 21 Cel ce are poruncile Mele şi le păzeşte, acela este cel ce Mă iubeşte. Şi cel ce Mă iubeşte va fi iubit de Tatăl Meu, iar Eu îl voi iubi şi Mă voi arăta lui.

22 Iuda, nu Iscarioteanul, L-a întrebat:

– Doamne, cum se face că urmează să Te arăţi nouă şi nu lumii?

23 Isus i-a răspuns:

– Dacă Mă iubeşte cineva, va păzi Cuvântul Meu; şi Tatăl Meu îl va iubi, iar Noi vom veni la el şi vom locui împreună cu el[i]. 24 Cine nu Mă iubeşte nu păzeşte cuvintele Mele; şi cuvântul pe care-l auziţi nu este al Meu, ci al Tatălui, Care M-a trimis.

25 V-am spus aceste lucruri cât sunt încă cu voi. 26 Dar Apărătorul, adică Duhul Sfânt, pe Care Tatăl Îl va trimite în Numele Meu, vă va învăţa toate lucrurile şi vă va reaminti tot ce v-am spus. 27 Vă las pace, vă dau pacea Mea. Nu v-o dau aşa cum o dă lumea. Să nu vi se tulbure inima, nici să nu se înspăimânte!

28 Aţi auzit că v-am spus: „Mă duc şi voi veni iarăşi la voi.“ Dacă Mă iubeaţi, v-aţi fi bucurat că Mă duc la Tatăl, pentru că Tatăl este mai mare decât Mine. 29 Şi v-am spus acum, înainte să se întâmple, pentru ca, atunci când se va întâmpla, să credeţi. 30 Nu voi mai vorbi mult cu voi, pentru că vine domnitorul lumii acesteia. El nu are nimic în Mine, 31 dar trebuie ca lumea să cunoască că Eu Îl iubesc pe Tatăl şi că fac aşa cum mi-a poruncit Tatăl.

Ridicaţi-vă, să plecăm de aici!

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.
