John 14:1-17 ▼

1 |Do not let your heart be troubled; 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; for I go to prepare a place for you.

3 |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 you know the way where I am going.|

5 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 the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

7 |If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.|

8 Philip said to Him, |Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.|

9 Jesus said to him, |Have I been so long with you, and [yet] you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how [can] you say, 'Show us the Father'?

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 initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

11 |Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

12 |Truly, truly, 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 the Father.

13 |Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 |If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do [it].

15 |If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

16 |I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;

17 [that is] the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, [but] you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
