14:1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. · You trust in · God; trust also in me.
14:2 In · my Father’s house · there are many dwelling places; if · that were not the case, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am, there you may be also.
14:5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
14:6 Jesus said to him, · “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
14:7 If you have known me, you will know my Father also; · and from now on you do know him and have seen him.”
14:8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
14:9 Jesus said to him, · “Have I been so long a time with you, Philip, and you still do not know me? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father residing in me is doing · his works.
14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else · believe me because of the works themselves.
14:12 I tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes in me will do the works that I do; in fact, greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
14:13 And whatever you ask in · my name I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14 If you ask me anything in · my name, I will do it.
14:15 “If you love me, you will keep · my commandments. ·
14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete, to be with you for all time,
14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you will know him, for he will dwell with you and will be in you.
14:18 I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come back to you.
14:19 In a little while · the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you too will live.
14:20 On that · day you will know that I am in · my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you.
14:21 The one who has · my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by · my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, · “Lord, what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
14:23 Jesus answered · him, saying, “If anyone loves me, he will keep · my word, and · my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him.
14:24 The one who does not love me does not keep · my words; and the word that you are hearing is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
14:25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
14:26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, · whom the Father will send in · my name, will instruct you regarding all things, and cause you to remember everything that I have told you.
14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace · I give to you. I give to you not as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, · neither let it be afraid.
14:28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
14:29 And now I have told you before it happens, that when it does happen you may believe.
14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. · He has no claim on me,
14:31 but so the world may know that I love the Father, · I do exactly as the Father commanded me. Rise up, let us go from this place!
