⁴ Or do you think lightly of ^(A)the riches of His ^(B)kindness and ^[a](C)restraint and ^(D)patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

²⁹ But ^(A)he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and ^(B)circumcision is of the heart, by the ^(C)Spirit, not by the letter; ^(D)and his praise is not from people, but from God.

Words to the People

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you ^(A)seek Me, not because you saw ^[a](B)signs, but because you ate some of the loaves and were filled. ²⁷ Do not ^(C)work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for ^(D)eternal life, which ^(E)the Son of Man will give you, for on Him the Father, God, ^(F)has set His ^[b]seal.” ²⁸ Therefore they said to Him, “What are we to do, so that we may accomplish the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “This is ^(G)the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He ^(H)has sent.”

⁴⁴ No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^(A)draws him; and I will ^(B)raise him up on the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written ^(C)in the Prophets: ‘^(D)And they shall all be ^(E)taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. ^46 (F)Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes ^(G)has eternal life. ^48 (H)I am the bread of life.

⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him ^[a](A)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “^(A)Do not let your heart be troubled; ^[a]believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many ^[b]rooms; if that were not so, ^[c]I would have told you, because ^(B)I am going there to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(C)I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that ^(D)where I am, there you also will be. ⁴ And you know the way where I am going.” ^5 (E)Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?” ⁶ Jesus *said to him, “I am ^(F)the way, and ^(G)the truth, and ^(H)the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Oneness with the Father

^7 (I)If you ^[d]had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you ^(J)know Him, and have ^(K)seen Him.”

^8 (L)Philip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹ Jesus *said to him, “Have I been with ^[e]you for so long a time, and yet ^[f]you have not come to know Me, Philip? ^(M)The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that ^(N)I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? ^(O)The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works. ¹¹ Believe Me that ^(P)I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise ^(Q)believe because of the works themselves. ¹² Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and ^(R)greater works than these he will do; because ^(S)I am going to the Father. ¹³ And ^(T)whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that ^(U)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask Me anything ^(V)in My name, I will do it.

¹⁵ “^(W)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

The Holy Spirit

¹⁶ I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ^[g](X)Helper, so that He may be with you forever; ¹⁷ the Helper is ^(Y)the Spirit of truth, ^(Z)whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.

¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; ^(AA)I am coming to you. ^19 [h](AB)After a little while, ^(AC)the world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; ^(AD)because I live, you also will live. ^20 (AE)On that day you will know that ^(AF)I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. ^21 (AG)The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ^(AH)the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ^(AI)reveal Myself to him.” ^22 (AJ)Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what has happened ^(AK)that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(AL)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(AM)follow My word; and ^(AN)My Father will love him, and We ^(AO)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him. ²⁴ The one who does not love Me ^(AP)does not follow My words; and ^(AQ)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you. ²⁶ But the ^(AR)Helper, the Holy Spirit ^(AS)whom the Father will send in My name, ^(AT)He will teach you all things, and ^(AU)remind you of all that I said to you. ^27 (AV)Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. ^(AW)[i]Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor ^[j]fearful. ^28 (AX)You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and ^(AY)I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced ^[k]because ^(AZ)I am going to the Father, for ^(BA)the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now ^(BB)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. ³⁰ I will not speak much more with you, for ^(BC)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has ^[l]nothing in regard to Me, ³¹ but so that the world may know that I love the Father, ^[m]I do exactly as ^(BD)the Father commanded Me. Get up, ^(BE)let’s go from here.
