14:1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that you may also be where I am.
14:4 You know where I am going, and you know the way.”
14:5 “Lord, we don’t know where you are going,” Thomas replied, “so how can we know the way?”
14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7 If you know me, you would also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
14:8 “Lord,” said Philip, “show us the Father, and that is enough for us.”
14:9 “Have I been with you so long,” Jesus answered, “and you still do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am telling you I am not speaking on my own, but the Father who remains in me is doing his works.
14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. Or else believe because of the works themselves.
14:12 “Amen, Amen, I tell you: The one who believes in me will do the works that I am doing. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.
14:13 I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
14:16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.
14:17 He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him or know him. You know him because he stays with you and will be in you.
14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.
14:19 In a little while the world will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
14:20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
14:21 The one who has my commands and holds on to them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father. I too will love him and show myself to him.”
14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
14:23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will hold on to my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
14:24 The one who does not love me does not hold on to my words. The word that you are hearing is not mine, but it is from the Father who sent me.
14:25 “I have told you these things while staying with you.
14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I told you.
14:27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not let it be afraid.
14:28 You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
14:29 “I have told you now before it happens so that, when it does happen, you may believe.
14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.
14:31 But I want the world to know that I love the Father and that I am doing exactly what the Father has instructed me. “Get up. Let’s leave this place.”
