John 14
Christian Standard Bible
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.

约翰福音 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌是道路真理生命
14 “你們心裡不要難過，你們應當信 神，也應當信我。 2 在我父的家裡，有許多住的地方；如果沒有，我怎麼會告訴你們我去是要為你們預備地方呢？（下半節或譯：“如果沒有，我早就對你們說了，因為我去是為你們預備地方。”） 3 我若去為你們預備地方，就必再來接你們到我那裡去，好使我在哪裡，你們也在哪裡。 4 我去的地方，你們知道那條路。” 5 多馬說：“主啊，我們不知道你去的地方，怎能知道那條路呢？” 6 耶穌對他說：“我就是道路、真理、生命，如果不是藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。 7 如果你們認識我，就必認識我的父；從今以後，你們認識他，並且看見了他。” 8 腓力說：“主啊，請把父顯示給我們，我們就滿足了。” 9 耶穌說：“腓力，我跟你們在一起這麼久了，你還不認識我嗎？那看見了我的就是看見了父，你怎麼還說‘把父顯示給我們’呢？ 10 你不信我是在父裡面，父是在我裡面嗎？我對你們說的話，不是憑著自己說的，而是住在我裡面的父作他自己的事。 11 你們應當信我是在父裡面，父是在我裡面；不然，也要因我所作的而相信。 12 我實實在在告訴你們，我所作的事，信我的人也要作，並且要作比這些更大的，因為我往父那裡去。 13 你們奉我的名無論求甚麼，我必定成全，使父在子的身上得著榮耀。 14 你們若奉我的名向我求甚麼，我必定成全。
耶穌求父賜下保惠師
15 “如果你們愛我，就要遵守我的命令。 16 我要請求父，他就會賜給你們另一位保惠師，使他跟你們永遠在一起。 17 這保惠師就是真理的靈，世人不能接受他，因為看不見他，也不認識他。你們卻認識他，因為他跟你們住在一起，也要在你們裡面。 18 我不會撇下你們為孤兒，我要回到你們這裡來。 19 不久以後，世人不再看見我，你們卻要看見我，因為我活著，你們也要活著。 20 到那日，你們就知道我是在我父裡面，你們是在我裡面，我也在你們裡面。 21 那領受我的命令，並且遵守的，就是愛我的；愛我的，我父必定愛他，我也要愛他，並且要親自向他顯現。” 22 猶大（不是加略人猶大）對耶穌說：“主啊，你為甚麼要親自向我們顯現，不向世人顯現呢？” 23 耶穌回答：“人若愛我，就要遵守我的話，我父必定愛他，並且我們要到他那裡去，跟他住在一起。 24 不愛我的，就不會遵守我的話。你們所聽見的道，不是我的，而是那差我來的父的道。
25 “我還跟你們在一起的時候，就對你們講了這些事。 26 但保惠師，就是父因我的名要差來的聖靈，他要把一切事教導你們，也要使你們想起我對你們所說過的一切話。 27 我留下平安給你們，我把自己的平安賜給你們；我給你們的，不像世界所給的。你們心裡不要難過，也不要恐懼。 28 你們聽見我對你們說過：‘我去，但還要回到你們這裡來。’你們若愛我，就要喜樂，因為我到父那裡去，又因為父是比我大的。 29 現在事情還沒有發生，我就已經告訴你們，使你們在事情發生的時候可以相信。 30 我不會再跟你們講很多的事，因為這世界的統治者將到；他在我身上毫無作用， 31 但這些事是要使世人知道我愛父，並且知道父怎樣吩咐了我，我就怎樣作。起來，我們走吧！”

No Greater Love—in Peace
14 “Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions.[a] If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that you may also be where I am. 4 You know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5 “Lord, we don’t know where you are going,” Thomas replied, “so how can we 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 know me, you would also know my Father.[c] From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 “Lord,” said Philip, “show us the Father, and that is enough for us.”
9 “Have I been with you so long,” Jesus answered, “and you still do not know me, Philip? The one who 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 that I am telling you I am not speaking on my own, but the Father who remains in me is doing his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. Or else believe[d] because of the works themselves.
12 “Amen, Amen, I tell you: The one who believes in me will do the works that I am doing. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me[e] for anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “If you love me, hold on to[f] my commands. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. 17 He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him or know him. You know him because he stays with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. 19 In a little while the world will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 The one who has my commands and holds on to them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father. I too will love him and show myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will hold on to my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 The one who does not love me does not hold on to my words. The word that you are hearing is not mine, but it is from the Father who sent me.
25 “I have told you these things while staying with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I told you.
27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not let it be afraid. 28 You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 “I have told you now before it happens so that, when it does happen, you may believe. 30 I will not speak with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me. 31 But I want the world to know that I love the Father and that I am doing exactly what the Father has instructed me.
“Get up. Let’s leave this place.”
