1 Don’t let your heart be troubled. 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 homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going 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 I f I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there 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 W here I go, you know, and you know the way.”

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

5 T homas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How 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 to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through 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 you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you 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 to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”

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

9 J esus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘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 D on’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his 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 M ost certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to 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 W hatever you will ask 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 you will ask anything 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 I f you love me, keep my commandments.

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

16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,—

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

17 t he Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will 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 will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will 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 I n that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you 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 O ne who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal 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 to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to 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 him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home 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 who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s 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 said these things to you, while still living with you.

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

26 B ut the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to 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 to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

“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 Y ou heard how I told you, ‘I go away, and I come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the 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 N ow I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.

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

30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he 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 commanded me, 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.
