John 14

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust also in me.	1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith 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 there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going 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 back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
4 You know the way to the place where I am going.	4 Where (I) am going you know the way."
5 Thomas said, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?'	5 Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; 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 said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you know me, you will know my Father too. From this moment you know him and have seen him.	7 If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do 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 said to him, "Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for 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 said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show 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 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his 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 is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.
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 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 Whatever you ask in my name I wil do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.	13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I wil do it.	14 If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me you wil keep my commandments.	15 "If you love me, you will 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 ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
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 the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you.
18 I shall not leave you orphans; I shall come to you.	18 I will not leave you orphans; 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 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live.
20 On that day you wil know that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you.	20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are 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 Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal 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, not the Iscariot, said to him, "Master, (then) what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to 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 to him, "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling 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 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.
25 I have said these things to you while still with you;	25 "I have told you this while I am 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 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name--he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I) told 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 to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or 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 You heard me tell you, 'I am going away and I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the 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 this before it happens, so that when it happens you may 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 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over 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 the world must know that I love the Father and that I do just as the Father has commanded me. Get up, let us go.
