“1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in
me. 2 In 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. 3 And 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.”
“4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto
him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have
known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and 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 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], Shew us the Father? 10 Believest
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. 11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the
Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.”
“12 Verily, 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. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye
shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].”
“15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the
Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may 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;
for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
“18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a
little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I
live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my
Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21 He 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. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou
wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus 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. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which
ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.”
“25 These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
26 But 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. 27 Peace 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.”
“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. 29 And now I have told you
before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me. 31 But 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.” (John 14:1-31 AV)
