John 14 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

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

Jhn 14:2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

Jhn 14:3

Jhn 14:3And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

Jhn 14:4

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

Jhn 14:5

Jhn 14:5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

Jhn 14:6

Jhn 14:6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.

Oneness with the Father

Jhn 14:7

Jhn 14:7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him."

Jhn 14:8

Jhn 14:8Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied."

Jhn 14:9

Jhn 14:9Jesus 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'?

Jhn 14:10

Jhn 14:10Do 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.

Jhn 14:11

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

Jhn 14:12

Jhn 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.

Jhn 14:13

Jhn 14:13Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

Jhn 14:14

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

Jhn 14:15

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

Role of the Spirit

Jhn 14:16

Jhn 14:16And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever,

Jhn 14:17

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

Jhn 14:18

Jhn 14:18"I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you.

Jhn 14:19

Jhn 14:19Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me; because I live, you will live also.

Jhn 14:20

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

Jhn 14:21

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

Jhn 14:22

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

Jhn 14:23

Jhn 14:23Jesus answered him, "If a man 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.

Jhn 14:24

Jhn 14:24He 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.

Jhn 14:25

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

Jhn 14:26

Jhn 14:26But 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.

Jhn 14:27

Jhn 14:27Peace 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.

Jhn 14:28

Jhn 14:28You heard me say to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.

Jhn 14:29

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

Jhn 14:30

Jhn 14:30I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me;

Jhn 14:31

Jhn 14:31but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go hence.
