14: • 1 Do not let your heart be agitated; you believe into God, believe also into Me. • 2 There are many rooms in which to dwell inside My Father’s house; if not, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? • 3 And if I go to prepare a place for you [inside of the Father], then I am already coming and will receive you towards Myself, that where I AM, you also might be. 4 And you know the way by which I am being led. 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know to where You are being led; how can we know the way?” • 6 Jesus replied, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes towards the Father except through Me. • 7 If you had known Me, you would have known the Father also; from this present moment on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show, demonstrate, make known to us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus replied, “I have been so long a time with you, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? • The one who has seen Me, has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show and make known to us the Father?’ • 10 Do you not believe that I am inside of the Father and the Father is inside of Me? The words that I speak to you, I do not speak from Myself, but the Father dwelling inside of Me does His works. 11 Believe Me that I am inside of the Father and the Father inside of Me; at least believe because of the works themselves.” 12 Let it be so, it is so, as I say to you. • The one who believes into Me, the works that I do, he also will do, and greater than these he will do, because I am always going towards the Father. • 13 And whatever you ask inside of My name, I will do, that the Father might be glorified inside of the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything inside of My name, I will do it. • 15 If you love me, you will keep, guard and watch over My full completion [of word], 16 and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper-Advocate, that He might be with you into the age, • 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world-cosmos is not able to receive because it does not see or know Him. But you know Him, for He abides, lives, dwells alongside of you, and will become inside of you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans desolate and bereaved; I am always coming towards you. • 19 Yet a little while and the world-cosmos sees me no more, but you see Me. Because I live, you also will live. • 20 In that day you will know that I am inside of My Father, and you inside of Me and I inside of you [h]. • 21 The one who possesses My full completion [of words] and keeps guard over them, He is the one who loves Me. Even more, the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love him and will appear in person and make Myself visible to him. 22 Judas, not the Iscariot, said to Him, “Lord, how does it happen that you are about to make Yourself visible to us and not to the world-cosmos? • 23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep, guard, and watch over My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and will make Our home in intimate closeness and participation with him [i). 24 The one who does not love Me, does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine, but it belongs to the Father who sent Me. 25 These things I have said to you as I have remained with you, • 26 but the Helper-Advocate, the Devoted Spirit, whom the Father will send inside of My name, He will teach you all, and will bring into your mind all that I have said to you. • 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 agitated, nor let it be fearful or timid. 28 You heard Me say to you that I am continuously going away and continuously coming towards you. • If you love Me, you would rejoice that I am going towards the Father, for the Father is larger and greater than I am [j]. 29 And now I have told you before it happens, that when it happens, you might believe. 30 I will no longer speak much with you; • indeed, the ruler of this world-cosmos comes, yet he possesses nothing inside of Me. 31 But that the world-cosmos might know that I love the Father, and as the Father gives Me word to complete, so I do. Rise up, let us go from here.” |
