14:5 "Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"
14:6 "I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
14:7 If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."
14:8 "Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."
14:9 "Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can *you* ask me, 'Cause us to see the Father'?
14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.
14:11 Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.
14:12 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me--the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.
14:13 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14 If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
14:15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
14:16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth.
14:17 That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your side and is in you.
14:18 I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you.
14:19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live.
14:20 At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you.
14:21 He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him."
14:23 "If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
14:24 He who has no love for me does not obey my teaching; and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine, but is the teaching of the Father who sent me.
14:25 "All this I have spoken to you while still with you.
14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring to your memories all that I have said to you.
14:27 Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.
14:28 "You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I am.
14:29 I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass you may believe.
14:30 In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing;
14:31 but it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going."
