I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life
14 “Let
not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2 In 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?[b] 3 And if 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. 4 And you
know the way to where I am going.”[c] 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we
do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus
said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you
had known me, you would have known my Father also.[d] From now on you do know him and have
seen him.”
8 Philip
said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus
said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me,
Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us
the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am
in the Father and the Father is 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. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father
and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works
themselves.
12 “Truly,
truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I
do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the
Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will
do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If
you ask me[e] anything in my name, I will do it.
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If
you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,[f] to be with you forever, 17 even 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[g] in you.
18 “I
will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet
a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see
me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In
that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me,
and I in you. 21 Whoever 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.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord,
how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the
world?” 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. 24 Whoever
does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not
mine but the Father's who sent me.
25 “These
things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But
the Helper, 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. 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. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am
going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced,
because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than
I. 29 And now I have told you before it takes
place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I
will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is
coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I
do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I
love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
