| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest ; and how can we know the way? | 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" |
| 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way , the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. | 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. |
| 7 If ye had known me , ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. | 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." |
| 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. | 8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." |
| 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? | 9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? |
| 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. | 10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. |
| 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. | 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. |
| 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do ; because I go unto my Father. | 12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. |
| 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do , that the Father may be glorified in the Son. | 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. |
| 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. | 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. |
