NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust also in me.1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going nowto prepare a place for you,2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you to myself, so that you maybe with me where I am.3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 You know the way to the place where I am going.4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas said, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?'5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus said: I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If you know me, you will know my Father too. From this moment you know him and have seen him.7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and then we shall be satisfied.' Jesus said to him,8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 'Have I been with you al this time, Philip, and you stil do not know me? 'Anyone who has seen me hasseen the Father, so how can you say, "Show us the Father"?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?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I say to you I do not speakof my own accord: it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his works.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.
11 You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe iton the evidence of these works.11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 In all truth I tell you, whoever believes in me wil perform the same works as I do myself, and wilperform even greater works, because I am going to the Father.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.
13 Whatever you ask in my name I wil do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I wil do it.14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me you wil keep my commandments.15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 I shall ask the Father, and he wil give you another Paraclete to be with you for ever,16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 the Spirit of truth whom the world can never accept since it neither sees nor knows him; but you knowhim, because he is with you, he is in you.17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I shall not leave you orphans; I shall come to you.18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 In a short time the world wil no longer see me; but you wil see that I live and you also wil live.19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 On that day you wil know that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you.20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and whoever lovesme will be loved by my Father, and I shall love him and reveal myself to him.'21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas -- not Judas Iscariot -- said to him, 'Lord, what has happened, that you intend to show yourselfto us and not to the world?'22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus replied: Anyone who loves me wil keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shalcome to him and make a home in him.23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 Anyone who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not my own: itis the word of the Father who sent me.24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 I have said these things to you while still with you;25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father wil send in my name, wil teach you everythingand remind you of al I have said to you.26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is mygift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You heard me say: I am going away and shal return. If you loved me you would be glad that I amgoing to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 I shall not talk to you much longer, because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no powerover me,30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 but the world must recognise that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded.Come now, let us go.31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
