John - Chapter 14

Passage

Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also in me. In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself: so that where I am, you also may be. And where I am going you know: and the way you know. Thomas said to him: Lord, we do not know where you are going. And how can we know the way? Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me. If you had known me, you would surely have known my Father also: and from now on you shall know him. And you have seen him. Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father; and it is enough for us. Jesus said to him: Have I been with you so long a time, and have you not known me? Philip, whoever sees me sees the Father also. How can you say: Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I do not speak of myself. But the Father who abides in me, he does the works. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? Otherwise believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and greater than these he shall do. Because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask the Father in my name, that I will do: so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, to abide with you for ever: The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him or know him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you. I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world sees me no more. But you see me: because I live, you also shall live. On that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me shall be loved by my Father: and I will love him and will show myself to him. Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him: Lord, how is it that you will show yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him: If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him and will make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word which you have heard is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and remind you of all things that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you: my peace I give to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor let it be afraid. You have heard that I said to you: I am going away, and I am coming to you. If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe. I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world is coming: and in me he has nothing. But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has given me commandment, so I do: Arise, let us go from here.
