John 14

The Way to the Father
1 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. # 14:1 Jn 14:27 Believe # 14:1 Or You believe in God; # 14:1 Ac 16:34; 27:25; Rm 4:3,17,24; Gl 3:6; Ti 3:8; Jms 2:23; 1Jn 5:10 believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going # 14:2 Jn 8:21–22; 13:33,36; 16:7 to prepare a place for you? 3If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again # 14:3 Mk 8:38 and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also. # 14:3 Jn 12:26 4You know the way to where I am going.” # 14:4 Other mss read this verse: And you know where I am going, and you know the way,# 14:4 Jn 7:28; 8:14; 16:5; 1Jn 2:11
5“Lord,” Thomas # 14:5 Mk 3:18 said, “we don’t know where you’re going. How can we know the way? ”
6Jesus told him, “I am # 14:6 Ex 3:14; Jn 8:24,58 the way, # 14:6 Heb 10:20 the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you know me, you will also know # 14:7 Other mss read If you had known me, you would have known my Father. # 14:7 Mt 11:27; 1Jn 2:23 From now on you do know him # 14:7 Jn 17:3; 1Jn 4:8 and have seen him.”
Jesus Reveals the Father
8“Lord,” said Philip, # 14:8 Mk 3:18 “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”
9Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. # 14:9 Jn 5:19,37; 12:45 How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? # 14:10 Jn 10:30; 14:11,20; 1Jn 2:24; 4:17 The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own. # 14:10 Jn 5:30 The Father who lives in me does his works. # 14:10 Jn 5:36; 6:28; Heb 3:9; Rv 15:3 11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe # 14:11 Other mss read believe me because of the works themselves. # 14:11 Jn 10:38
Praying in Jesus’s Name
12 “Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me # 14:12 Jn 6:35 will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, # 14:12 Jn 5:20 because I am going to the Father. # 14:12 Jn 7:33; 13:1,3; 16:5,10,17,28; 17:11,13; 20:17 13Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified # 14:13 Jn 11:4; 17:1; 1Pt 2:12 in the Son. # 14:13 Jn 5:19 14If you ask me # 14:14 Other mss omit me anything in my name, # 14:14 Jn 10:25 I will do it. # 14:14 Other mss omit all of v. 14,# 14:14 Jn 11:22; 15:7,16; 16:23–24
Another Counselor Promised
15 “If you love me, you will keep # 14:15 Other mss read “If you love me, keep (as a command) my commands. # 14:15 1Jn 5:3 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor # 14:16 Or advocate, or comforter, also in v. 26,# 14:16 Lk 24:49; Jn 14:26; 15:26; 16:7; 1Jn 2:1; Ac 2:33 to be with you forever. 17He is the Spirit # 14:17 Jn 1:33 of truth. # 14:17 Ps 119:142; 2Th 2:10; 1Jn 4:6 The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him. But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be # 14:17 Other mss read and is in you. # 14:17 1Jn 4:4
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. 19In a little while the world will no longer see me, # 14:19 Jn 7:33 but you will see me. # 14:19 Jn 16:16 Because I live, you will live # 14:19 Php 1:21 too. 20On that day you will know that I am in my Father, # 14:20 Jn 14:10 you are in me, and I am in you. 21The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. # 14:21 Jn 8:31; 1Jn 2:5 And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father. # 14:21 Dt 7:12–13; Jn 16:27 I also will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
22Judas # 14:22 Lk 6:16; Ac 1:13 (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it you’re going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world? ” # 14:22 Ac 10:40–41
23Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. # 14:23 Jn 14:2; 1Jn 2:24 24The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me. # 14:24 Jn 5:19; 7:16; 8:28; 12:49–50
25 “I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, # 14:26 Ps 51:11; Jn 1:33; Ac 2:4; Rm 8:9; Gl 5:25; Ti 3:5; Rv 3:22 whom the Father will send # 14:26 Lk 24:49; Jn 14:16; 15:26; 16:7; Ac 2:33 in my name, will teach you all things # 14:26 Jn 16:13; 1Co 2:10; 1Jn 2:27 and remind you of everything I have told you. # 14:26 Jn 2:22; 2Pt 1:21
Jesus’s Gift of Peace
27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful. # 14:27 2Tm 1:7 28You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away # 14:28 Jn 16:5 and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, # 14:28 Jn 16:10 because the Father is greater than I. # 14:28 Jn 10:29; 1Jn 3:20; 4:4 29I have told you now before it happens # 14:29 Jn 13:19; 16:4 so that when it does happen you may believe. 30I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world # 14:30 Mt 4:1; Jn 12:31 is coming. He has no power over me. # 14:30 Lit He has nothing in me,# 14:30 Lk 4:6 31On the contrary, so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do as the Father commanded me.
“Get up; let’s leave this place.

1Let not your levavot be troubled.#14:1 Yn 14:27 You have emunah (faith) in Hashem. Also in me have emunah (faith).#14:1 Ex 14:21; Ps 4:5 2In the Beis Avi there are many me'onot#14:2 cf. 14:23 (dwelling places, permanent residences, homes); if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a makom (place) for you? 3And if I go and prepare a makom for you, I am coming again and will receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4And where I go you have da'as of HaDerech.#14:4 Ps 1:6 5T'oma says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, we do not have da'as of where you are going; how are we able to have da'as of HaDerech? 6Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, I am HaDerech, HaEmes, and HaChayyim. No one comes to HaAv except through me.#14:6 1Sm 3:7 7If you have had da'as of me, also you will have had da'as of Avi. And from now on, you have had da'as of Him and have seen Him.
8Philippos says to him, Adoni, show us [Elohim] HaAv and it is enough for us. 9Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to Philippos, So long a time with you I am and you have not had da'as of me, Philippos? The one having seen me has seen [Elohim] HaAv.#14:9 Co 1:15; Isa 9:6 [5]; Prov 30:4 How do you say, Show us HaAv? 10Do you not have emunah (faith) that Ani Hu in HaAv and HaAv is in me? The devarim which I speak to you I do not speak on my own, but HaAv dwelling in me does His pe'ulot. 11In me have emunah, that Ani Hu in HaAv and HaAv is in me; but if not, have emunah because of the pe'ulot themselves.
12Omein, omein, I say to you, the one believing in me the pe'ulot which I do he will do, and gedolot than these will he do, because I am going to HaAv. 13And whatever you ask b'Shem of me I will do, that HaAv may receive kavod in HaBen. 14If anything you ask me b'Shem of me, I will do it.
15If you have ahavah for me, you will be shomer mitzvot regarding my commandments.#14:15 Ps 103:18 16And I will ask HaAv and another Melitz Yosher#14:16 Advocate, Counselor, Helper in Court, Yn 14:26; 15:26; 16:7 He will give you that He may be with you l'Olam, 17The Ruach HaEmes, which the Olam Hazeh is not able to receive, because it does not see Him nor have da'as of Him. But you have da'as of Him, because He remains with you and He will be in you.
18I will not leave you yetomim (orphans). I am coming to you.#14:18 1Kgs 6:13 19Yet a little time and the Olam Hazeh no longer sees me, but you see me. Because Ani Chai, so you will live also. 20On Yom Hahu (that day) you will have da'as that I am in HaAv of me and you are in me and I am in you. 21The one having the mitzvot of me and being shomer mitzvot, that one is the one having ahavah for me. And the one having ahavah for me will receive ahavah from HaAv of me, and I will have ahavah for him and I will manifest myself to him. 22Yehudah (not the one from K'riot) says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, and what has transpired that to us you are about to manifest yourself and not to the Olam Hazeh? 23In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, If anyone has ahavah for me, of my dvar he will be shomer and HaAv of me will have ahavah for him and to him we will come and with him we will make a ma'on.#14:23 Yn 14:2, me'onot, plural; see also Prov 8:17; Ezek 37:27 24The one not having ahavah (agape) for me is not shomer regarding the devarim of me, and the dvar which you hear is not mine but that of HaAv Who sent me.#14:24 Dt 18:18
25These things I have told you while abiding with you. 26But the Melitz Yosher (Praklit, Advocate, Counselor, Helper in Court), the Ruach Hakodesh which HaAv will send b'Shem of me, He will teach you all things and will remind you of all things which I told you. 27Shalom Hashem I leave with you, my Shalom I give to you,#14:27 Num 6:26; Ps 85:8; Mal 2:6 not as the Olam Hazeh gives, I give to you; let not your levavot be troubled,#14:27 Yn 14:1 nor let them be ones of morech lev#14:27 Rv 21:8 (cowardliness).#14:27 Hag 2:9 TARGUM HASHIVIM 28You heard me say to you, I am going,#14:28 Yn 14:12 and I am coming to you.#14:28 Yn 14:18 If you were having ahavah for me, you would have simcha, because I go to HaAv, for HaAv is greater than me.#14:28 Yn 1:1,14 29And now I have told you before it happens, that when it happens, you may have emunah (faith). 30No longer many things I will speak with you, for the Sar HaOlam Hazeh is coming; and in me he has nothing. 31But in order that HaOlam may have da'as that I have ahavah for HaAv, as HaAv gave me mitzvah, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
