John 14:1-18 ▼

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

2 Many mansions are in the house of my Father; but if it were not so, I would have told you; because I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I may go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; in order that you may also be where I am.

4 And whither I go, you know the way.

5 And Thomas says to Him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: and how do we know the way?

6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh to the Father, but through me.

7 If you have known me, you shall also know my Father: and henceforth you know Him and have seen Him.

8 Philip says to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus says to Him, Am I so long time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? The one having seen me hath seen the Father: how do you say, Show us the Father?

10 Dost thou not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father who abideth in me doeth His own works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or if not, believe for the sake of the works themselves.

12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, shall also do the works which I am doing; and shall do greater works than these: because I go to the Father:

13 and whatsoever you may ask in my name, I will do it, in order that the rather may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you may ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.

15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you always,

17 the Spirit of truth: which the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him, nor know Him: you know Him: because He abideth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you orphans: I am coming to you.
