John 14:1-18 ▼

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

2 In my Father's house there are many mansions; if not, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

3 And as I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself, that where I am, ye may also be.

4 And ye know where I am going, and ye know the way.

5 Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither thou art going, and how can we know the way?

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

7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye do know Him, and may be said to have seen Him.

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

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long with you, and dost thou not know me? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father: and how then dost thou say, Shew us the Father?

10 Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? as to the words which I speak to you, I speak them not of my self; and the Father who abideth in me, doth the works.

11 Believe me therefore that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: at lest, believe me for the very works.

12 Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I perform he also shall perform, and greater than these shall he do: because I am going to the Father.

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

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

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father,

16 and He will give you another comforter to abide with you for ever:

17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, because He abideth with you, and shall be in you.

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