1Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also. 4And where I am going you know, and the way you know. 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from now on you know him and have seen him.” 8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do 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 from myself, but the Father abiding in me does his works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else believe me on account of the works themselves. 12Amen, amen, I tell you: the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do, and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. 15If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, so that he may be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it neither sees it nor knows it. But you know it, because it abides with you and will be in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. 19In just a little while the world will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. 20On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21The one who has my commandments and keeps them, that is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.” 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23Jesus 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 make our dwelling place with him. 24The one who 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. 25I have spoken these things to you while remaining with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things, and will remind you of all things that I said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. 28You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. 29And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me, 31but so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
