1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
1 "Don't let this throw you. You trust God, don't you? Trust 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?
2 There is plenty of room for you in my Father's home. If that weren't so, would I have told you that I'm on my way to get a room ready for you?
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.
3 And if I'm on my way to get your room ready, I'll come back and get you so you can live where I live.
4 And you know the way to where I am going."
4 And you already know the road I'm taking."
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"
5 Thomas said, "Master, we have no idea where you're going. How do you expect us to know the road?"
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
6 Jesus said, "I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do 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. You've even seen him!"
8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."
8 Philip said, "Master, show us the Father; then we'll be content."
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'?
9 "You've been with me all this time, Philip, and you still don't understand? To see me is to see the Father. So how can you ask, 'Where is 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.
10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you aren't mere words. I don't just make them up on my own. The Father who resides in me crafts each word into a divine act.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
11 "Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can't believe that, believe what you see - these works.
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.
12 The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it.
13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
13 From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I'll do it. That's how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
14 Whatever you request in this way, I'll do.
15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
15 "If you love me, show it by doing what I've told you.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
16 I will talk to the Father, and he'll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you.
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 in you.
17 This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can't take him in because it doesn't have eyes to see him, doesn't know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!
18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
18 "I will not leave you orphaned. I'm coming back.
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.
19 In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you're going to see me because I am alive and you're about to come alive.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
20 At that moment you will know absolutely that I'm in my Father, and you're in me, and I'm 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."
21 "The person who knows my commandments and keeps them, that's who loves me. And the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and make myself plain 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?"
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said, "Master, why is it that you are about to make yourself plain to us but 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.
23 "Because a loveless world," said Jesus, "is a sightless world. If anyone loves me, he will carefully keep my word and my Father will love him - we'll move right into the neighborhood!
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.
24 Not loving me means not keeping my words. The message you are hearing isn't mine. It's the message of the Father who sent me.
25 "These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
25 "I'm telling you these things while I'm still living 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.
26 The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told 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.
27 I'm leaving you well and whole. That's my parting gift to you. Peace. I don't leave you the way you're used to being left - feeling abandoned, bereft. So don't be upset. Don't be distraught.
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.
28 "You've heard me tell you, 'I'm going away, and I'm coming back.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I'm on my way to the Father because the Father is the goal and purpose of my life.
29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.
29 "I've told you this ahead of time, before it happens, so that when it does happen, the confirmation will deepen your belief in me.
30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,
30 I'll not be talking with you much more like this because the chief of this godless world is about to attack. But don't worry - he has nothing on me, 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.
31 But so the world might know how thoroughly I love the Father, I am carrying out my Father's instructions right down to the last detail. "Get up. Let's go. It's time to leave here.
