1Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2In my Father's Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you. 3And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;¶ 4And you know the way to the place where I am going." 5"We do not know where you are going, Master," said Thomas; "so how can we know the way?" 6Jesus answered. "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me. 7If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him." 8"Master, show us the Father," said Philip, "and we shall be satisfied." 9"Have I been all this time among you," said Jesus, "and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, 'Show us the Father'? 10Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work. 11Believe me," he said to them all, "when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.¶ 12In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father. 13Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honored in the Son. 14If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.¶ 15If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart, 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always--the Spirit of Truth. 17The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognize him, but you recognize him, because he is always with you, and is within you.¶ 18I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you. 19In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also. 20At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you. 21It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him." 22"What has happened, Master," said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), "that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?" 23"Whoever loves me," Jesus answered," will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. 24He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.¶ 25I have told you all this while still with you, 26But the Helper--the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name- -he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you. 27Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.¶ 28You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. 29And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me. 30I shall not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me; 31But he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.¶
