[English Bible Study] John chapter 14

Jn. 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; [Or You

trust in God] trust also in me.

Jn. 14:2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I

would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for

you.

Jn. 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and

take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Jn. 14:4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jn. 14:5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are

going, so how can we know the way?”

Jn. 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. Noone

comes to the Father except through me.

Jn. 14:7 If you really knew me, you would know [Some early

manuscripts If you really have known me, you will know] my

Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have

seen him.”

Jn. 14:8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough

for us.”

Jn. 14:9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I

have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has

seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the

Father’?

Jn. 14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father

is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather,

it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

Jn. 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father

is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles

themselves.

Jn. 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I

have been doing. He will do even greater things than these,

because I am going to the Father.

Jn. 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son

may bring glory to the Father.

Jn. 14:14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Jn. 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.

Jn. 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another

Counsellor to be with you for ever —

Jn. 14:17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it

neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he

lives with you and will be [Some early manuscripts and is] in

you.

Jn. 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Jn. 14:19 Before long, the world will not see me any more, but you will

see me. Because I live, you also will live.

Jn. 14:20 On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you

are in me, and I am in you.

Jn. 14:21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one

who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father,

and I too will love him and show myself to him.”

Jn. 14:22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you

intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

Jn. 14:23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching.

My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make

our home with him.

Jn. 14:24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These

words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father

who sent me.

Jn. 14:25 “All this I have spoken while still with you.

279

Jn. 14:26 But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will

send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind

you of everything I have said to you.

Jn. 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to

you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled

and do not be afraid.

Jn. 14:28 “You heard me say, `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, for the Father is greater than I.

Jn. 14:29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does

happen you will believe.

Jn. 14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this

world is coming. He has no hold on me,

Jn. 14:31 but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do

exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let

us leave.
