1Let not your heart be troubled : believe in God , believe also in me . 2In my Father ’s house are many mansions ; if it were not so , I would have told you ; for I go to prepare a place for you . 3And if I go and prepare a place for you , I come again , and will receive you unto myself ; that where I am , there ye may be also . 4And whither I go , ye know the way . 5Thomas saith unto him , Lord , we know not whither thou goest ; how know we the way ? 6Jesus saith unto him , I am the way , and the truth, and the life : no one cometh unto the Father , but by me . 7If ye had known me , ye would have known my Father also : from henceforth ye know him , and have seen him .
The Revelation of the Father
8Philip saith unto him , Lord , show us the Father , and it sufficeth us . 9Jesus saith unto him , Have I been so long time with you , and dost thou not know me , Philip ? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father ; how sayest thou , Show us the Father ? 10Believest thou not that I am in the Father , and the Father in me ? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself : but the Father abiding in me doeth his works . 11Believe me that I am in the Father , and the Father in me : or else believe me for the very works ’ sake . 12Verily , 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 the Father . 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name , that will I do , that the Father may be glorified in the Son . 14If ye shall ask anything in my name , that will I do .
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
15If ye love me , ye will keep my commandments . 16And I will pray the Father , and he shall give you another Comforter , that he may be with you for ever , 17even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive ; for it beholdeth him not , neither knoweth him : ye know him ; for he abideth with you , and shall be in you . 18I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you . 19Yet a little while , and the world beholdeth me no more ; but ye behold me : because I live , ye shall live also . 20In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father , and ye in me , and I in you .
The Call to Obedience
21He 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 unto him . 22Judas ( not Iscariot ) saith unto him , Lord , what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us , and not unto the world ? 23Jesus answered and said unto him , If a man love me , he will keep my word : and my Father will love him , and we will come unto him , and make our abode with him . 24He that loveth me not keepeth not my words : and the word which ye hear is not mine , but the Father ’s who sent me .
The Promise of Peace
25These things have I spoken unto you , while yet abiding with you . 26But the Comforter , even the Holy Spirit , whom the Father will send in my name , he shall teach you all things , and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you . 27Peace 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 fearful . 28Ye heard how I said to you , I go away , and I come unto you . If ye loved me , ye would have rejoiced , because I go unto the Father : for the Father is greater than I . 29And now I have told you before it come to pass , that , when it is come to pass , ye may believe . 30I will no more speak much with you , for the prince of the world cometh : and he hath nothing in me ; 31but 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 .
