The Gospel According to Saint John, Chapter 14
|
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.
