约翰福音 14-17
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶稣是道路、真理、生命
14 耶稣继续说:“你们心里不要忧愁,你们要信上帝,也要信我。 2 我父的家里有许多住处,不然我就不会说去为你们安排地方了。 3 我安排好了以后,必定回来接你们到我那里。我在哪里,让你们也在哪里。 4 你们知道通往我要去的地方的路。”
5 多马说:“主啊,你要去哪里,我们还不知道,又怎么会知道路呢?”
6 耶稣说:“我就是道路、真理、生命,若不借着我,没有人能到父那里。 7 你们若认识我,也会认识我的父。从现在起,你们不但认识祂,而且也看见祂了。”
8 腓力说:“主啊!求你让我们看看父,我们就心满意足了。”
9 耶稣说:“腓力,我和你们相处了这么久,你还不认识我吗?人看见了我,就看见了父,你怎么说‘让我们看看父’呢? 10 难道你不相信我在父里面,父也在我里面吗?我这些话不是凭自己讲的,而是住在我里面的父在做祂自己的工作。 11 你们应当相信我在父里面,父也在我里面。即使你们不信,也应该因我所做的而信我。 12 我实实在在地告诉你们,我所做的事,信我的人也要做,而且要做更大的事,因为我要回到父那里。 13 你们奉我的名无论求什么,我必应允,好让父在子身上得到荣耀。 14 你们若奉我的名向我求什么,我必应允。
应许赐下圣灵
15 “你们若爱我,就必遵守我的命令。 16 我要求父另外赐一位护慰者给你们,祂要永远和你们同在。 17 祂是真理的灵,世人不接受祂,因为他们看不见祂,也不认识祂;但你们却认识祂,因祂常与你们同在,并且要住在你们里面。 18 我不会撇下你们为孤儿,我必到你们这里来。 19 不久,世人就看不见我了,而你们却能看见我,因为我活着,你们也要活着。 20 到了那一天,你们就知道我在父里面,你们在我里面,我也在你们里面。 21 接受我的命令又遵行的,就是爱我的人。爱我的,父必定爱他,我也要爱他,并且要亲自向他显现。”
22 犹大,不是后来出卖耶稣的犹大,问耶稣:“主啊,你为什么只向我们显现而不向世人显现呢?”
23 耶稣回答说:“爱我的人必遵行我的道,我父也必爱他,并且我们要到他那里与他同住。 24 不爱我的人不会遵行我的道。你们所听见的道不是出于我自己,而是出于差我来的父。 25 我还与你们在一起的时候,将这些事情都告诉了你们。 26 但护慰者,就是父为我的名而差来的圣灵,将教导你们一切的事,并使你们想起我对你们说的一切话。 27 我把平安留给你们,把我的平安赐给你们,我赐给你们的平安不像世人给的平安。你们心里不要忧愁,也不要害怕。
28 “我对你们说过,我去了还要再回到你们这里。如果你们真的爱我,就应当为我去父那里而欢喜快乐,因为父比我大。 29 现在事情还没有发生,我便先告诉你们,到了事情发生的时候,你们就会相信。 30 我不再跟你们多谈,因为世界的王快要来了。他根本没有力量胜过我, 31 但这是为了让世人知道我爱父,父怎么吩咐我,我就怎么做。起来,我们走吧!”
真葡萄树
15 耶稣说:“我是真葡萄树,我父是栽培的人。 2 属于我的枝子如果不结果子,祂就把它剪掉;如果结果子,祂便修剪它,让它结更多的果子。 3 我对你们所讲的道已经使你们洁净了。 4 你们要常在我里面,我就常在你们里面。枝子若离开葡萄树,就不能结果子。同样,你们若不常在我里面,也不能结果子。
5 “我是葡萄树,你们是枝子。常在我里面的,我也常在他里面,他就会多结果子,因为你们离开了我什么都不能做。 6 不常在我里面的人就像丢在外面枯干的枝子,最后只有被人拾起来丢在火里烧掉。 7 如果你们常在我里面,我的话也常在你们里面,无论你们求什么,都会得到应允。 8 你们多结果子,证明自己是我的门徒,就会给我父带来荣耀。 9 父怎样爱我,我也怎样爱你们。你们要常在我的爱中。 10 你们若遵守我的命令,就必常在我的爱中,正如我遵守了父的命令,常在父的爱中一样。
11 “我把这些事告诉你们,是要叫你们心里有我的喜乐,让你们的喜乐满溢。 12 你们要彼此相爱,像我爱你们一样,这就是我的命令。 13 为朋友舍命可以说是人间最伟大的爱了。 14 你们如果照我的吩咐去做,就是我的朋友。 15 我不再称你们为奴仆,因为奴仆不知道主人的事。我称你们为朋友,因为我把从父那里听见的一切都告诉了你们。 16 不是你们拣选了我,而是我拣选了你们,并且派你们出去结永存的果子。这样,你们奉我的名无论向父求什么,祂都会赐给你们。 17 我把这些事吩咐你们,是要叫你们彼此相爱。
被世人憎恶
18 “如果世人恨你们,要知道,他们恨你们以前已经恨我了。 19 如果你们属于这个世界,世人一定会爱你们。可是你们不属于这世界,我已经把你们拣选出来,因此世人恨你们。 20 你们要记住我说的话,‘奴仆不能大过主人。’他们若迫害我,也必迫害你们;他们若遵行我的话,也必遵行你们的话。 21 世人将因为我的名而这样对待你们,因为他们不认识差我来的那位。 22 我如果没有来教导他们,他们就没有罪了,但现在他们的罪无可推诿。 23 恨我的,也恨我的父。 24 我如果没有在他们当中行过空前的神迹,他们就没有罪了。然而,他们亲眼看见了,竟然还恨我和我的父。 25 这是要应验他们律法书上的话,‘他们无故地恨我。’
26 “我要从父那里为你们差护慰者来,祂就是从父而来的真理之灵。祂来了要为我做见证。 27 你们也要为我做见证,因为你们从开始就与我在一起。
圣灵的工作
16 “我把这些事告诉你们,以免你们失去信心。 2 人们将把你们赶出会堂,时候将到,杀害你们的人还以为是在事奉上帝。 3 他们这样做,是因为他们根本不认识父,也不认识我。 4 我把这些事提前告诉你们,是要叫你们到时候可以想起我曾跟你们讲过这些事。我以前没有告诉你们,那是因为我还跟你们在一起。
5 “现在我要去差我来的父那里,你们没有人问我去哪里。 6 因为我把这些事告诉了你们,你们心里充满了忧愁。 7 然而,我把实情告诉你们,我去对你们是有益的,因为如果我不去,护慰者就不会来,我去了就会派祂到你们这里来。 8 祂来了,就要在罪、义、审判方面责备世人。 9 在罪方面责备他们,是因为他们不信我; 10 在义方面责备他们,是因为我要去父那里,你们再也看不到我了; 11 在审判方面责备他们,是因为这世界的王受了审判。
12 “我还有许多事情要告诉你们,可是你们现在不能明白。 13 等到真理之灵来了,祂会引导你们,让你们明白一切的真理。祂不凭自己说话,而是把祂所听见的和有关将来的事告诉你们。 14 祂也要把从我那里领受的指示你们,使我得荣耀。 15 因为父的一切都是我的,所以我才说祂要把从我那里领受的指示你们。
转忧为喜
16 “不久,你们就见不到我了,再过不久,你们还会看见我。”
17 几个门徒彼此议论说:“祂说,‘不久,你们就见不到我了,再过不久,你们还会看见我’,祂又说,‘因为我要去父那里’,这到底是什么意思呢? 18 祂说‘不久’是什么意思呢?我们真不明白!”
19 耶稣知道他们想问祂,就说:“你们在议论我刚才说的话是什么意思吗? 20 我实实在在地告诉你们,你们将痛哭、哀号,世人却要欢喜;你们将忧愁,然而你们的忧愁将变为喜乐。 21 妇人分娩时都会痛苦不已,但孩子生下来后,她就会因为这世界添了一个新生命而充满欢乐,忘掉了生产的痛苦。 22 同样,现在你们有忧愁,但到我再见你们的时候,你们的心必欢喜,而且这份喜乐是谁也夺不去的。
23 “到那一天,你们就什么也不用问我了。我实实在在地告诉你们,你们奉我的名无论向父求什么,祂都会赐给你们。 24 你们从来没有奉我的名求过什么,你们现在求,就必得到,好使你们的喜乐满溢。
胜过世界
25 “我一直用比喻跟你们讲这些事,不久,我就不再用比喻了,而是清楚地把父的事告诉你们。 26 到那天,你们将要奉我的名祈求,我不是说我要为你们向父祈求。 27 父爱你们,因为你们一直爱我,并且相信我来自上帝。 28 我从父那里来到这个世界,现在我要离开这个世界回到父那里。”
29 门徒说:“如今你直截了当地告诉我们,不再用比喻了。 30 现在我们知道你无所不知,无需人向你发问,因此我们相信你来自上帝。”
31 耶稣说:“你们现在相信吗? 32 看啊!时候快到了,现在就是,你们将要分散,各自回家,只留下我一人。不过,我并非一人,因为父与我在一起。 33 我把这些事告诉你们,是要叫你们在我里面有平安。你们在世上会有苦难,但你们要放心,我已经胜过这个世界。”
耶稣的祷告
17 耶稣说完后,就抬头望着天说:“父啊!时候到了,愿你使你的儿子得荣耀,好让你的儿子也使你得荣耀。 2 因为你把管理世人的权柄赐给了祂,使祂可以将永生赐予你交托给祂的人。 3 这永生就是,认识你——独一的真神,并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督。 4 我已经完成你交给我的工作,使你在地上得了荣耀。 5 父啊,现在让我和你同享创世以前我们所共有的荣耀吧!
6 “你从世上赐给我的人,我已将你[a]显明给他们。他们本来属于你,你将他们赐给了我,他们遵守你的道。 7 如今他们知道,你赐给我的一切都是从你那里来的, 8 因为我已经把你赐给我的道赐给他们,他们也接受了,并且确实知道我是从你那里来的,也相信是你差遣了我。
9 “我不为世人祈求,却为他们祈求,就是为你赐给我的那些人祈求,因为他们属于你。 10 一切属于我的都是你的,属于你的也是我的,我从他们身上得了荣耀。 11 现在我要离开这个世界去你那里了,他们却仍然留在世上。圣父啊,求你为了自己的名,就是你赐给我的名而保守他们,使他们像我们一样合而为一。 12 我和他们在一起的时候,靠着你赐给我的名保守他们,看顾他们。除了那个注定灭亡的人以外,他们一个也没有灭亡,这是为了应验圣经上的话。
13 “现在我要去你那里了,我趁着还在世上的时候这样说,是要叫他们心里充满我的喜乐。 14 我已将你的道赐给他们,世人恨他们,因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。 15 我不求你带他们离开这个世界,但求你保守他们脱离那恶者。 16 因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。 17 求你用真理,就是你的道,使他们圣洁。 18 你怎样差我到世上来,我也照样差他们到世人中间。 19 为了他们,我献上自己,使他们借着真理可以圣洁。
20 “我不但为这些人祈求,也为那些因他们的话而信我的人祈求, 21 使他们都合而为一,正如父你在我里面,我在你里面一样,并且使他们也在我们里面,好让世人相信是你差我来的。 22 我又将你赐给我的荣耀赐给他们,使他们像我们一样合而为一。 23 我在他们里面,你在我里面,好使他们也完完全全地合而为一。这样,世人便知道我是你差来的,而且知道你爱他们,就像爱我一样。
24 “父啊!我在哪里,愿你赐给我的人也在哪里,好让他们看见你赐给我的荣耀,因为在创世以前你已经爱我了。 25 公义的父啊!世界还未认识你以前,我已经认识你了,这些人也知道是你差我来的。 26 我使他们认识了你的名,我还要使他们更认识你,好让你对我的爱存在他们里面,我也在他们里面。”

John 14-17
King James Version
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
16 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
17 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
