New American Standard Bible 1995

1"Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in God; believe also in me.

1"Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

2There are many dwelling places in my Father's house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you.

2"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

3And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too.

3"If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

4And you know the way where I am going."

4"And you know the way where I am going."

5Thomas said, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

5Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?"

6Jesus replied, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

7If you have known me, you will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen him."

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

8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be content."

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

9Jesus replied, "Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

9Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He 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 on my own initiative, but the Father residing in me performs his miraculous deeds.

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 initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me, believe because of the miraculous deeds themselves.

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

12I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father.

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

13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

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

14If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

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

15"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

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

16Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever--

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

17the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

17that is the Spirit of truth, whom 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 abandon you as orphans, I will come to you.

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

19In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.

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

20You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

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

21The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

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

22"Lord," Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

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

23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.

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 abode with him.

24The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

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

25"I have spoken these things while staying with you.

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

26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to 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 said to you.

27"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.

27"Peace 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 fearful.

28You heard me say to you, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

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

29I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

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

30I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,

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

31but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here."

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