John 14:
"Don't
let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.
There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not
so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will
always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am
going."
"No, we don't know, Lord," Thomas said, "We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
Jesus
told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to
the Father except through me. If you had really known me, you would
know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!"
Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied."
Jesus
replied, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still
don't know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why
are you asking me to show him to you? Don't you believe that I am in
the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own but
my Father who lives in me does his work through me. Just believe that I
am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe, because
of the work you have seen me do.
"I
tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I
have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the
Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that
the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my
name, and I will do it!
"If
you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he
will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the
Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him,
because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you
know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I
will not abandon you as orphans - I will come to you. Soon the world
will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will
live. When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in the
Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Those who accept my
commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they
love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal
myself to each of them."
Judas
(not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to
him, "Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to
the world at large?"
Jesus
replied, "All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love
them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. Anyone who
doesn't love the me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my
own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me. I am
telling you these things now while I am still with you. But when the
Father sends the Advocate as my representative - that is, the Holy
Spirit - he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I
have told you.
"I am
leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give
is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.
Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you
again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to
the Father, who is greater than I am. I have told you these things
before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.
"I
don't have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this
world approaches. He has no power over me, but I will do what the
Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the
Father. Come, lets be going."
