NLT Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
New Living TranslationEnglish Standard Version
1 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
4 And you know the way to where I am going.”4And you know the way to where I am going.”
5“No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
6Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come 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 except through me.
7 If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, 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 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.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 authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
11 Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.12“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.13Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit14If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “If you love me, obey my commandments.15“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
18 No, 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.
19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live.19Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.20In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”21Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
22Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, “Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?”22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.23Jesus answered 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 home with him.
24 Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me.24Whoever 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.
25 I am telling you these things now while I am still with you.25“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26 But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.26But 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 have said to you.
27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
28 Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am.28You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.29And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.
30 “I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me,30I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,
31 but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father. Come, let’s be going.31but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
