Read the New Testament in 24 Weeks
14 ¶ Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 ¶ So that ye know where I go, and ye know the way.
5 Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not where thou goest; how, therefore, can we know the way?
6 Jesus said unto him, I AM the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from now on ye know him and have seen him.
8 Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice us.
9 Jesus said unto him, Have I been such a long time with you, and yet thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
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 dwells in me, he does 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 believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments;
16 and I will ask 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 does not see him, or know him; but ye know him, for he dwells with you and shall be in you.
18 ¶ I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more, but ye shall 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 has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas, not Iscariot, said unto him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, He who loves me will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and dwell with him.
24 He that does not love me does not keep my words, and the word which ye have heard is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.
25 ¶ I have spoken these things unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all the things that I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, 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 comes 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 comes and has nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
15 ¶ I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he shall take away; and every one that bears fruit, he shall purge that they may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I AM the vine, ye are the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
6 He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an unsound branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and are burned.
7 If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.
9 ¶ As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
11 These things I have spoken unto you that my joy may abide in you and that your joy might be fulfilled.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 From now on I do not call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it unto you.
17 This I command you, that ye love one another.
18 ¶ If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 But they will do all these things unto you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them works which no other man has done, they would not have sin; but now they have seen them and hate both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 ¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me;
27 and ye also shall bear witness because ye have been with me from the beginning.
