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

“Do not let your heart be troubled. You have put your trust in God, put your trust in Me also.

2 I n my Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

There are many rooms in My Father’s house. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going away to make a place for you.

3 A nd if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

After I go and make a place for you, I will come back and take you with Me. Then you may be where I am.

4 So that ye know where I go, and ye know the way.

You know where I am going and you know how to get there.”

5 T homas said unto him, Lord, we know not where thou goest; how, therefore, can we know the way?

Thomas said to Jesus, “Lord, we do not know where You are going. How can we know the way to get there?”

6 J esus said unto him, I AM the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus said, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one can go to the Father except by Me.

7 I f ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from now on ye know him and have seen him.

If you had known Me, you would know My Father also. From now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Jesus and His Father Are One

8 P hilip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice us.

Philip said to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father. That is all we ask.”

9 J esus said unto him, Have I been such a long time with you, and yet thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time and you do not know Me yet? Whoever has seen Me, has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 B elievest 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 dwells in me, he does the works.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in Me? What I say to you, I do not say by My own power. The Father Who lives in Me does His work through Me.

11 B elieve me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

“Believe Me that I am in the Father and that the Father is in Me. Or else believe Me because of the things I do.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.

For sure, I tell you, whoever puts his trust in Me can do the things I am doing. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father.

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

Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so the shining-greatness of the Father may be seen in the Son.

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

Yes, if you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Jesus Promises to Give the Holy Spirit

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments;

“If you love Me, you will do what I say.

16 a nd I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever,

Then I will ask My Father and He will give you another Helper. He will be with you forever.

17 e ven the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him, or know him; but ye know him, for he dwells with you and shall be in you.

He is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot receive Him. It does not see Him or know Him. You know Him because He lives with you and will be in you. Jesus Tells of His Death

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

“I will not leave you without help as children without parents. I will come to you.

19 Y et a little while, and the world shall see me no more, but ye shall see me; because I live, ye shall live also.

In a little while the world will see Me no more. You will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.

20 A t that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

When that day comes, you will know that I am in My Father. You will know that you are in Me. You will know that I am in you.

21 H e that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.

The one who loves Me is the one who has My teaching and obeys it. My Father will love whoever loves Me. I will love him and will show Myself to him.”

22 J udas, not Iscariot, said unto him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world?

The other Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Why is it You are going to show Yourself to us followers and not to the world?”

23 J esus answered and said unto him, He who loves me will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and dwell with him.

Jesus said, “The one who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will love him. We will come to him and live with him.

24 H e that does not love me does not keep my words, and the word which ye have heard is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.

The one who does not love Me does not obey My teaching. The teaching you are now hearing is not My teaching but it is from My Father Who sent Me.

25 I have spoken these things unto you, being yet present with you.

“I have told you these things while I am still with you.

26 B ut the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all the things that I have said unto you.

The Helper is the Holy Spirit. The Father will send Him in My place. He will teach you everything and help you remember everything I have told you. Jesus Gives His Followers Peace

27 P eace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give peace to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled or 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.

You heard Me say that I am going away. But I am coming back to you. If you love Me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father. The Father is greater than I.

29 A nd now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

I have told you this before it happens. Then when it does happen, you will believe.

30 H ereafter I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes and has nothing in me.

“I will not talk much more with you. The leader of this world is coming. He has no power over Me.

31 B ut 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 from here.

I am doing what the Father told Me to do so the world may know I love the Father. Come, let us be on our way.
