Modern Literal Version
[John 14]
{Jn 14-17 Thurs. Night, Friday to the Jews}
14:1 Do not let your* heart be disturbed; you* believe in God, believe also in me. 14:2 In my Father's house are many abodes; otherwise, I would have told you*. I am going-onward to prepare a place for you*. 14:3 And if I go-onward, I will prepare a place for you*. I am coming again and will receive you* to myself; that* where I am, you* may also be there. 14:4 And I am going where you* know and you* know the way.
14:5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?
14:6 Jesus says to him, I am the way and the truth and the life; no one is coming to the Father, except through me. 14:7 If you* had known me, you* would have also known my Father; from now on you* know him and have seen him.
14:8 Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father and it is enough for us.
14:9 Jesus says to him, So-much time I have been with you* and you do not know me Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how can you say this? Show us the Father? 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you*, I do not speak from myself; but the Father who is abiding in me; he is doing the works. 14:11 Eitherbelieve me, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, otherwise believe me because of the works themselves. 14:12 Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you*, He who believes in me, the works that I am doing, he will also do, and he will do greater works than these, because I am going-onward to my Father. 14:13 And whatever you* ask in my name, I will do this, that* the Father might be glorified in the Son. 14:14 If you* ask anything in my name, I will do that. 14:15 If you* love* me, keep my commandments.
14:16 And I will request of the Father and he will give you* another Helper*, that* he may abide with you* forever, 14:17 the Spirit of the truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not view him, nor knows him; but you* know him, because he is abiding with you* and will be in you*. 14:18 I will not leave you* orphans. I am coming to you*. 14:19 Still a little while and the world views me no more; but you* view me, because I am living, you* will also live. 14:20 You* will know in that day that I am in my Father and you* in me and I in you*. 14:21 He who holds my commandments and is keeping them, that one is he who loves* me and he who loves* me will be loved* by my Father and I will love* him and will manifest myself to him.
14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, Lord, what is happening that you are about to manifest yourself to us and not to the world?
14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves* me, he will keep my word and my Father will love* him and we will come to him and will make* our abode with him. 14:24 He who does not love* me, does not keep my words. And the word which you* hear is not mine, but the Father's, hewho sent me.
14:25 I have spoken these things to you*, while I am remaining with you*. 14:26 But the Helper*, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you* all things and will remind you* of all that I said to you*. 14:27 I am leaving peace with you*. I am giving my peace to you*; not like the world gives, I am giving to you*. Do not let your* heart be disturbed, nor let it be cowardly. 14:28 You* heard how that I said to you*, I am going-onward and I am coming to you*. If you* loved* me, you* would have rejoiced, because I said, I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. 14:29 And now I have told you* before it happens, that*, whenever it has happened, you* may believe. 14:30 I will not speak much longer with you*, for* the ruler of the world is coming and he has nothing in me; 14:31 but that* the world may know that I love* the Father and as the Father commanded me, thus I am doing.
Arise, we should go from here.
