John 14:9-31

English Standard Version

⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^(A)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Do you not believe that ^(B)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^(C)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹Believe me that ^(D)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^(E)believe on account of the works themselves.

¹²“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(F)whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I ^(G)am going to the Father. ¹³^(H)Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that ^(I)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴^(J)If you ask me^[a] anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

¹⁵^(K)“If you love me, you will ^(L)keep my commandments. ¹⁶And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ^(M)Helper,^[b] to be with you forever, ¹⁷even ^(N)the Spirit of truth, ^(O)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and ^(P)will be^[c] in you.

¹⁸“I will not leave you as orphans; ^(Q)I will come to you. ¹⁹^(R)Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but ^(S)you will see me. ^(T)Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰^(U)In that day you will know that ^(V)I am in my Father, and ^(W)you in me, and ^(X)I in you. ²¹^(Y)Whoever has my commandments and ^(Z)keeps them, he it is who loves me. And ^(AA)he who loves me ^(AB)will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ^(AC)manifest myself to him.” ²²^(AD)Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ^(AE)that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” ²³Jesus answered him, ^(AF)“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ^(AG)we will come to him and ^(AH)make our home with him. ²⁴Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And ^(AI)the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

²⁵“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. ²⁶But the ^(AJ)Helper, the Holy Spirit, ^(AK)whom the Father will send in my name, ^(AL)he will teach you all things and ^(AM)bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. ²⁷^(AN)Peace I leave with you; ^(AO)my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ^(AP)Let not your hearts be troubled, neither ^(AQ)let them be afraid. ²⁸^(AR)You heard me say to you, ^(AS)‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I ^(AT)am going to the Father, for ^(AU)the Father is greater than I. ²⁹And ^(AV)now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. ³⁰I will no longer talk much with you, for ^(AW)the ruler of this world is coming. ^(AX)He has no claim on me, ³¹but I do ^(AY)as the Father has commanded me, ^(AZ)so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
