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

Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

2 I n 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.

In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

3 A nd 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.

And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

4 A nd whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

And where I am going, you know the way.

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

Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?

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

Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

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

If you had known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen Him.

8 P hilip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father; then we shall be satisfied.

9 J esus 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, Show us the Father?

Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, 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 dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the ( His ) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).

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 the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

12 V erily, 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.

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

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

And I will do whatever you ask in My Name '> presenting all that I Am ], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.

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

I will grant whatever you shall ask in My Name '> presenting all that I Am ].

15 I f ye love me, keep my commandments.

If you love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

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

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—

17 E ven 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.

The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.

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

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

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

Just a little while now, and the world will not see Me any more, but 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.

At that time you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

21 H e 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.

The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and whoever loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him.

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

Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?

23 J esus 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.

Jesus answered, If a person loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.

24 H e that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

Anyone who does not love Me does not observe and obey My teaching. And the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but from the Father Who sent Me.

25 T hese things have I spoken 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 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.

But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.

27 P eace 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.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

28 Y e 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 tell you, I am going away and I am coming to you. If you loved Me, you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater and mightier than I am.

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

And now I have told you before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may believe and have faith in and rely on Me.

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

I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming. And he has no claim on 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 hence.

But '> Satan is coming and] I do as the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know (be convinced) that I love the Father and that I do only what the Father has instructed Me to do. Rise, let us go away from here.
