John 14:7-31

Oneness with the Father

7 "¹If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you ²know Him, and have ³seen Him."

8 ⁴Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long * with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? ⁵He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father '?

10 "Do you not believe that ⁶I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? ⁷The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

11 "Believe Me that ⁸I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise ⁹believe because of the works themselves.

12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and ¹⁰greater works than these he will do; because ¹¹I go to the Father.

13 "¹²Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that ¹³the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 "If you ask Me anything ¹⁴in My name, I will do it.

15 "¹⁵If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Role of the Spirit

16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ¹⁶Helper, that He may be with you forever;

17 that is ¹⁷the Spirit of truth, ¹⁸whom the world cannot * receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

18 "I will not leave you as orphans; ¹⁹I will come to you.

19 "²⁰After a little while ²¹the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; ²²because I live, you will live also.

20 "²³In that day you will know that ²⁴I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

21 "²⁵He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ²⁶he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ²⁷disclose Myself to him."

22 ²⁸Judas (not Iscariot ) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened ²⁹that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"

23 Jesus answered and said to him, "³⁰If anyone loves Me, he will ³¹keep My word; and ³²My Father will love him, and We ³³will come to him and make Our abode with him.

24 "He who does not love Me ³⁴does not keep My words; and ³⁵the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

25 "These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.

26 "But the ³⁶Helper, the Holy Spirit, ³⁷whom the Father will send in My name, ³⁸He will teach you all things, and ³⁹bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

27 "⁴⁰Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. ⁴¹Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

28 "⁴²You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and ⁴³I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because ⁴⁴I go to the Father, for ⁴⁵the Father is greater than I.

29 "Now ⁴⁶I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

30 "I will not speak much more with you, for ⁴⁷the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing * in Me;

31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as ⁴⁸the Father commanded Me. Get up, ⁴⁹let us go from here.
