“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
|
2 |
In My Father’s house are many mansions; 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 receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
|
4 |
And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
|
5 |
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
|
6 |
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
|
7 |
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
|
8 |
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
|
9 |
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
|
10 |
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you 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, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
|
12 |
“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 |
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
|
14 |
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
|
15 |
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.
|
16 |
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
|
17 |
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
|
18 |
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
|
19 |
“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
|
20 |
At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
|
21 |
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 manifest Myself to him.”
|
22 |
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, 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 the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
|
25 |
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
|
26 |
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
|
27 |
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 say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
|
29 |
“And 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, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
|
31 |
But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
