Common - John - 14

14:1  "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.

14:2  In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go 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 myself, that where I am you may be also.

14:4  And you know the way where I am going."

14:5  Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going, and 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 had known me, you would have known my Father also; and from now on you know him and have seen him."

14:8  Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

14:9  Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

14:10  Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

14:11  Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

14:12  Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.

14:13  And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14:14  If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

14:15  "If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

14:16  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever—

14:17  the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

14:18  I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

14:19  A little while longer, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

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

14:21  He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

14:22  Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"

14:23  Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

14:24  He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

14:25  "These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you.

14:26  But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

14:27  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

14:28  You have heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father, ‘for the Father is greater than I.

14:29  And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe.

14:30  I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me.

14:31  But I do as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
