I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

aDo not let your heart be troubled; 1believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for aI go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, aI will come again and receive you to Myself, that bwhere I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going. aThomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going. How do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, I am athe way, and bthe truth, and cthe life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.

Oneness with the Father

aIf you have come to know Me, you will know My Father also; from now on you bknow Him, and have cseen Him.

aPhilip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus *said to him, Have I been with you all so long and have you not come to know Me, Philip? aHe who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, Show us the Father? 10 Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? bThe words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. 11 Believe Me that aI am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise bbelieve because of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and agreater works than these he will do because bI go to the Father. 13 aWhatever you ask in My name, this will I do, so that bthe Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything ain My name, I will do it.

15 aIf you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 1aAdvocate, that He may be with you forever; 17 athe Spirit of truth, bwhom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. You know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you as orphans; aI will come to you. 19 1aAfter a little while bthe world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; cbecause I live, you will live also. 20 aOn that day you will know that bI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 aHe who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and bhe who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will cdisclose Myself to him. 22 aJudas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened bthat You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, aIf anyone loves Me, he will bkeep My word; and cMy Father will love him, and We dwill come to him and make Our dwelling with him. 24 He who does not love Me adoes not keep My words; and bthe word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

25 These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26 But the aAdvocate, the Holy Spirit, bwhom the Father will send in My name, cHe will teach you all things, and dbring to your remembrance all that I said to you. 27 aPeace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. bDo not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. 28 aYou heard that I said to you, I go away, and bI will come to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because cI go to the Father, for dthe Father is greater than I. 29 And now aI have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will not speak much more with you, for athe ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; 31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father, 1I do exactly as athe Father commanded Me. Get up, blet us go from here.

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

aDo not let your heart be troubled; 1believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many 1rooms; if that were not so, 2I would have told you, because aI am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, aI am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that bwhere I am, there you also will be. And you know the way where I am going. aThomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, I am athe way, and bthe truth, and cthe life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Oneness with the Father

aIf you 1had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you bknow Him, and have cseen Him.

aPhilip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus *said to him, Have I been with 1you for so long a time, and yet 2you have not come to know Me, Philip? aThe one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, Show us the Father? 10 Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? bThe words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works. 11 Believe Me that aI am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise bbelieve because of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and agreater works than these he will do; because bI am going to the Father. 13 And awhatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that bthe Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything ain My name, I will do it.

15 aIf you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

The Holy Spirit

16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 1aHelper, so that He may be with you forever; 17 the Helper is athe Spirit of truth, bwhom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you as orphans; aI am coming to you. 19 1aAfter a little while, bthe world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; cbecause I live, you also will live. 20 aOn that day you will know that bI am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. 21 aThe one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and bthe one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will creveal Myself to him. 22 aJudas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what has happened bthat You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, aIf anyone loves Me, he will bfollow My word; and cMy Father will love him, and We dwill come to him and make Our dwelling with him. 24 The one who does not love Me adoes not follow My words; and bthe word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

25 These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you. 26 But the aHelper, the Holy Spirit bwhom the Father will send in My name, cHe will teach you all things, and dremind you of all that I said to you. 27 aPeace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. 1bDo not let your hearts be troubled, nor 2fearful. 28 aYou heard that I said to you, I am going away, and bI am coming to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced 1because cI am going to the Father, for dthe Father is greater than I. 29 And now aI have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will not speak much more with you, for athe ruler of the world is coming, and he has 1nothing in regard to Me, 31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father, 1I do exactly as athe Father commanded Me. Get up, blet’s go from here.

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

aDo not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly) . Believe confidently in God and trust in Him, have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because aI am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, aI will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that bwhere I am you may be also. And to the place where I am going, you know the way. aThomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; so how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, 1I am athe only Way to God and bthe real Truth and cthe real Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Jesus’ Oneness with the Father

aIf you had really known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now on you bknow Him, and have cseen Him.

aPhilip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father and then we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, Have I been with you for so long a time, and you do not know Me yet, Philip, nor recognize clearly who I am? aAnyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, Show us the Father? 10 Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? bThe words I say to you I do not say on My own initiative or authority, but the Father, abiding continually in Me, does His works His attesting miracles and acts of power. 11 Believe Me that aI am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise bbelieve Me because of the very works themselves which you have witnessed. 12 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me as Savior will also do the things that I do; and he will do even agreater things than these in extent and outreach, because bI am going to the Father. 13 aAnd I will do whatever you ask in My name 1as My representative, this I will do, so that bthe Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son. Ex 3:14 14 If you ask Me anything ain My name as My representative, I will do it.

15 aIf you really love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.

Role of the Spirit

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 1aHelper (Comforter, Advocate, IntercessorCounselor, Strengthener, Standby) , to be with you forever 17 athe Spirit of Truth, bwhom the world cannot receive and take to its heart because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you as orphans comfortless, bereaved, and helpless; aI will come back to you. 19 aAfter a little while bthe world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; cbecause I live, you will live also. 20 aOn that day when that time comes you will know for yourselves that bI am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. 21 aThe person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who really loves Me; and bwhoever really loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and creveal Myself to him I will make Myself real to him.” 22 aJudas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, what has happened bthat You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered, aIf anyone really loves Me, he will bkeep My word (teaching) ; and cMy Father will love him, and We dwill come to him and make Our dwelling place with him. 24 One who does not really love Me adoes not keep My words. And bthe word (teaching) which you hear is not Mine, but is the Father’s who sent Me.

25 I have told you these things while I am still with you. 26 But the 1aHelper (Comforter, Advocate, IntercessorCounselor, Strengthener, Standby) , the Holy Spirit, bwhom the Father will send in My name in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf, cHe will teach you all things. And He dwill help you remember everything that I have told you. Matt 5:7, 13, 24, 25; Luke 24:49; John 14:16; Acts 1:4 27 aPeace I leave with you; My perfect peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. bDo not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge. 28 aYou heard Me tell you, I am going away, and bI am coming back to you. If you really loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because cI am going back to the Father, for 1dthe Father is greater than I. 29 aI have told you now before it happens, so that when it does take place, you may believe and have faith in Me. 30 I will not speak with you much longer, for athe ruler of the world (Satan) is coming. And he has no claim on Me no power over Me nor anything that he can use against Me; 31 but so that the world may know without any doubt that I love the Father, I do exactly as athe Father has commanded Me and act in full agreement with Him. Get up, blet us go from here.

And you know the way where I am going. aThomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, I am athe way, and bthe truth, and cthe life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

15 aIf you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Role of the Spirit

16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 1aHelper, that He may be with you forever; 17 that is athe Spirit of truth, bwhom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you as orphans; aI will come to you. 19 1aAfter a little while bthe world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; cbecause I live, you will live also. 20 aIn that day you will know that bI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 aHe who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and bhe who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will cdisclose Myself to him. 22 aJudas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened bthat You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, aIf anyone loves Me, he will bkeep My word; and cMy Father will love him, and We dwill come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me adoes not keep My words; and bthe word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

25 These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26 But the aHelper, the Holy Spirit, bwhom the Father will send in My name, cHe will teach you all things, and dbring to your remembrance all that I said to you. 27 aPeace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. bDo not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. 28 aYou heard that I said to you, I go away, and bI will come to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because cI go to the Father, for dthe Father is greater than I. 29 Now aI have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will not speak much more with you, for athe ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; 31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father, 1I do exactly as athe Father commanded Me.
