14:1 “Don’t let disturbing thoughts fill your minds; trust in God, and trust in me.

14:2 There are many residences in my Father’s home. If there weren’t, I would not have told you that I’m going there to prepare a place for you.

14:3 So if I go and prepare a place, then I will return to you and accept you as my own, so that you can be where I am.

14:4 And you are familiar with the way to where I’m going.”

14:5 Thomas says to him, “Master, we aren’t familiar with where you’re going, so how can we see the way?”

14:6 “I am the way,” said Jesus, “and the truth and the life; no one can come to the Father except through me.

14:7 If all of you have known me you will also know my Father. And from now on you know him and have seen him.”

14:8 Philip says to him, “Master, show us the Father and we will be satisfied.”

14:9 Jesus replied, “Philip, I’ve been with you all this time, and you still don’t know me! Whoever has seem me has seen the Father, so how can you say, ’show us the Father’?

14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and he is in me? The declarations I have been giving you are not of my own accord; rather, the Father who remains in me does his work.

14:11 “Trust me when I tell you that I am in the Father and he is in me. But if that isn’t enough, then believe me because of what I do.

14:12 I tell you very truly, that those who put their trust in me will do the same things I do— and even greater things, because I am going to the Father.

14:13 And whatever you ask as my representative, I will do it, so that the Father is honored in the Son.

14:14 Yes, anything you ever ask as my representative, I will do.

14:15 “If you love me, guard my precepts.

14:16 And I will implore the Father, who will give you another advocate to console you and be with you forever:

14:17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot accept, whom it can neither see nor know. But you all know this Spirit, for it remains with you and will be in you.

14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

14:19 “Soon the world will no longer see me, but you see me. And since I live, you also will live.

14:20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you.

14:21 Whoever has my precepts and observes them is the one who loves me, and the one who loves me will be loved by my Father; I will love that one and reveal myself to them.”

14:22 Judas (not the one from Kerioth) says to him, “Master, why is it that you intend to reveal yourself to us but not to the world?”

14:23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will guard my sayings, and my Father will love them; we will come to them and take up residence with them.

14:24 But anyone who does not love me doesn’t guard my sayings. This saying you are hearing is not my own but is from the Father who sends me.

14:25 “I have spoken all this to you while remaining with you.

14:26 But now the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send on my behalf, will teach you everything and remind you of everything I said to you.

14:27 “My peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you, and I don’t give as the world does. Don’t let your minds be disturbed or timid.

14:28 You heard me say ’I am going away and coming back‘, and ’If you loved me you would be happy I’m going to the Father, for he is greater than I.

14:29 And now I have declared this ahead of time, so that when it does happen, you will believe.

14:30 “I will not be speaking with you much longer, because the ruler of the world approaches, and he has nothing to do with me.

14:31 But I do as the Father directs me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! We have to leave.
