The Way to the Father
14 “Don’t let your heart be troubled.(A) Believe[a] in God; (B) believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going (C) to prepare a place for you? 3 If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again(D) and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.(E) 4 You know the way to where I am going.”[b](F)
5 “Lord,” Thomas(G) said, “we don’t know where you’re going. How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus told him, “I am(H) the way,(I) the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you know me, you will also know[c] my Father.(J) From now on you do know him(K) and have seen him.”
Jesus Reveals the Father
8 “Lord,” said Philip,(L) “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.(M) 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?(N) The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own.(O) The Father who lives in me does his works.(P) 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe[d] because of the works themselves.(Q)
Praying in Jesus’s Name
12 “Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me(R) will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these,(S) because I am going to the Father.(T) 13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified(U) in the Son.(V) 14 If you ask me[e] anything in my name,(W) I will do it.[f](X)
Another Counselor Promised
15 “If you love me, you will keep[g] my commands.(Y) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor[h](Z) to be with you forever. 17 He is the Spirit(AA) of truth.(AB) 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[i] in you.(AC)
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,(AD) but you will see me.(AE) Because I live, you will live(AF) too. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father,(AG) 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.(AH) And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father.(AI) I also will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
22 Judas(AJ) (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it you’re going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” (AK)
23 Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.(AL) 24 The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.(AM)
25 “I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit,(AN) whom the Father will send(AO) in my name, will teach you all things(AP) and remind you of everything I have told you.(AQ)
Jesus’s Gift of Peace
27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.(AR) 28 You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away(AS) and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father,(AT) because the Father is greater than I.(AU) 29 I have told you now before it happens(AV) so that when it does happen you may believe. 30 I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world(AW) is coming. He has no power over me.[j](AX) 31 On the contrary, so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do as the Father commanded me.
“Get up; let’s leave this place.

14 «Non sia turbato il vostro cuore. Abbiate fede in Dio e abbiate fede anche in me. 2 Nella casa del Padre mio vi sono molti posti. Se no, ve l'avrei detto. Io vado a prepararvi un posto; 3 quando sarò andato e vi avrò preparato un posto, ritornerò e vi prenderò con me, perché siate anche voi dove sono io. 4 E del luogo dove io vado, voi conoscete la via».
5 Gli disse Tommaso: «Signore, non sappiamo dove vai e come possiamo conoscere la via?». 6 Gli disse Gesù: «Io sono la via, la verità e la vita. Nessuno viene al Padre se non per mezzo di me. 7 Se conoscete me, conoscerete anche il Padre: fin da ora lo conoscete e lo avete veduto». 8 Gli disse Filippo: «Signore, mostraci il Padre e ci basta». 9 Gli rispose Gesù: «Da tanto tempo sono con voi e tu non mi hai conosciuto, Filippo? Chi ha visto me ha visto il Padre. Come puoi dire: Mostraci il Padre? 10 Non credi che io sono nel Padre e il Padre è in me? Le parole che io vi dico, non le dico da me; ma il Padre che è con me compie le sue opere. 11 Credetemi: io sono nel Padre e il Padre è in me; se non altro, credetelo per le opere stesse.
12 In verità, in verità vi dico: anche chi crede in me, compirà le opere che io compio e ne farà di più grandi, perché io vado al Padre. 13 Qualunque cosa chiederete nel nome mio, la farò, perché il Padre sia glorificato nel Figlio. 14 Se mi chiederete qualche cosa nel mio nome, io la farò.
15 Se mi amate, osserverete i miei comandamenti. 16 Io pregherò il Padre ed egli vi darà un altro Consolatore perché rimanga con voi per sempre, 17 lo Spirito di verità che il mondo non può ricevere, perché non lo vede e non lo conosce. Voi lo conoscete, perché egli dimora presso di voi e sarà in voi. 18 Non vi lascerò orfani, ritornerò da voi. 19 Ancora un poco e il mondo non mi vedrà più; voi invece mi vedrete, perché io vivo e voi vivrete. 20 In quel giorno voi saprete che io sono nel Padre e voi in me e io in voi. 21 Chi accoglie i miei comandamenti e li osserva, questi mi ama. Chi mi ama sarà amato dal Padre mio e anch'io lo amerò e mi manifesterò a lui».
22 Gli disse Giuda, non l'Iscariota: «Signore, come è accaduto che devi manifestarti a noi e non al mondo?». 23 Gli rispose Gesù: «Se uno mi ama, osserverà la mia parola e il Padre mio lo amerà e noi verremo a lui e prenderemo dimora presso di lui. 24 Chi non mi ama non osserva le mie parole; la parola che voi ascoltate non è mia, ma del Padre che mi ha mandato.
25 Queste cose vi ho detto quando ero ancora tra voi. 26 Ma il Consolatore, lo Spirito Santo che il Padre manderà nel mio nome, egli v'insegnerà ogni cosa e vi ricorderà tutto ciò che io vi ho detto. 27 Vi lascio la pace, vi do la mia pace. Non come la dà il mondo, io la do a voi. Non sia turbato il vostro cuore e non abbia timore. 28 Avete udito che vi ho detto: Vado e tornerò a voi; se mi amaste, vi rallegrereste che io vado dal Padre, perché il Padre è più grande di me. 29 Ve l'ho detto adesso, prima che avvenga, perché quando avverrà, voi crediate. 30 Non parlerò più a lungo con voi, perché viene il principe del mondo; egli non ha nessun potere su di me, 31 ma bisogna che il mondo sappia che io amo il Padre e faccio quello che il Padre mi ha comandato. Alzatevi, andiamo via di qui».

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.
