John, 14

1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

1. "Do not be troubled; trust in God and trust 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.

2. In my Father's house there are many rooms. Otherwise I would not have told you that 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 unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.

3. After I have gone and prepared a place for you, I shall come again and take you to me, so that where I am, you also may be.

4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

4. Yet you know the way where I am going."

5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

5. Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

6. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.

7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

7. If you know me, you will know the Father also; indeed you know him and you have seen him."

8. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

8. Philip asked him,"Lord, show us the Father and that is enough."

9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?

9. Jesus said to him, "What! I have been with you so long and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever sees me sees the Father; how can you say: '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 dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

10. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? All that I say to you, I do not say of myself. The Father who dwells in me is doing his own work.

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

11. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; at least believe it on the evidence of these works that I do.

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.

12. Truly, I say to you, the one who believes in me will do the same works that I do; and he will even do greater than these, for I am going to the Father.

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

13. Everything you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

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

14. And everything you ask in calling upon my Name, I will do.

15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.

15. If you love me, you will 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;

16. and I will ask the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever,

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.

17. that Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him for he is with you and will be in you.

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

18. I will not leave you orphans, I am coming 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.

19. A little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me because I live and you will also live.

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

20. On that day you will know that I am in my Father and you 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.

21. Whoever keeps my commandments is the one who loves me. If he loves me, he will also be loved by my Father; I too shall love him and show myself clearly 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?

22. Judas - not the Iscariot - asked Jesus, "Lord, how can it be that you will show yourself clearly to us and not to 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.

23. Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word and my Father will love him; and we will come to him and make a room in his home.

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.

24. But if anyone does not love me, he will not keep my words, and these words that you hear are not mine but the Father's who sent me.

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

25. I told you all this while I was still 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.

26. From now on the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of all that I have told 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.

27. Peace be with you; I give you my peace. Not as the world gives peace do I give it to you. Do not be troubled; do not 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.

28. You heard me say: 'I am going away, but I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I go to the Father, for the 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.

29. I have told you this now before it takes place, so that when it does happen you may believe.

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

30. It is very little what I may still tell you, for the ruler of this world is at hand, although there is nothing in me that he can claim.

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 hence.

31. But see, the world must know that I love the Father and that I do what the Father has taught me to do. Come now, let us go.
