  1. John 1:5 Or overcome

10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?(A) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(B) 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.(C) 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes(D) in me will do the works I have been doing,(E) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask(F) 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.(G) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate(H) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.(I) The world cannot accept him,(J) because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans;(K) I will come to you.(L) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(M) Because I live, you also will live.(N) 20 On that day(O) you will realize that I am in my Father,(P) and you are in me, and I am in you.(Q) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(R) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(S) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas(T) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(U)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(V) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(W) 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.(X)

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate,(Y) the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,(Z) will teach you all things(AA) and will remind you of everything I have said to you.(AB) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.(AC) I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled(AD) and do not be afraid.

28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’(AE) If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,(AF) for the Father is greater than I.(AG) 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.(AH) 30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world(AI) is coming.

  1. John 14:17 Some early manuscripts and is

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

10 Do you not believe that (A)I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you (B)I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, (C)or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

The Answered Prayer

12 (D)“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 (E)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be (F)glorified in the Son. 14 If you [a]ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises Another Helper

15 (G)“If you love Me, [b]keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and (H)He will give you another [c]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 (I)the Spirit of truth, (J)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you (K)and will be in you. 18 (L)I will not leave you orphans; (M)I will come to you.

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but (N)you will see Me. (O)Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that (P)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 (Q)He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and [d]manifest Myself to him.”

22 (R)Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest 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, (S)and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and (T)the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace

25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But (U)the [e]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will (V)send in My name, (W)He will teach you all things, and bring to your (X)remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 (Y)Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me (Z)say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [f]I said, (AA)‘I am going to the Father,’ for (AB)My Father is greater than I.

29 “And (AC)now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, (AD)for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has (AE)nothing in Me.
