John 14
New King James Version
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
The Father Revealed
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
The Answered Prayer
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Jesus Promises Another Helper
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
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 make Our home with him. 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 who sent Me.
The Gift of His Peace
25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

Jesús: el camino, la verdad y la vida
14 »No se turbe el corazón de ustedes. Creen en Dios; crean también en mí. 2 En la casa de mi Padre muchas moradas hay. De otra manera, se los hubiera dicho. Voy, pues, a preparar lugar para ustedes. 3 Y si voy y les preparo lugar, vendré otra vez y los tomaré conmigo para que donde yo esté ustedes también estén. 4 Y saben a dónde voy, y saben el camino.
5 Le dijo Tomás:
—Señor, no sabemos a dónde vas; ¿cómo podemos saber el camino?
6 Jesús le dijo:
—Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida; nadie viene al Padre sino por mí. 7 Si me han conocido a mí, también conocerán a mi Padre ; y desde ahora lo conocen y lo han visto.
8 Le dijo Felipe:
—Señor, muéstranos el Padre y nos basta.
9 Jesús le dijo:
—Tanto tiempo he estado con ustedes, Felipe, ¿y no me has conocido? El que me ha visto, ha visto al Padre. ¿Cómo, pues, dices tú: “Muéstranos el Padre”? 10 ¿No crees que yo soy en el Padre y el Padre en mí? Las palabras que yo les hablo, no las hablo de mí mismo sino que el Padre que mora en mí hace sus obras. 11 Créanme que yo soy en el Padre, y el Padre en mí; de otra manera, crean por las mismas obras.
12 »De cierto, de cierto les digo que el que cree en mí, él también hará las obras que yo hago. Y mayores que estas hará, porque yo voy al Padre. 13 Y todo lo que pidan en mi nombre, eso haré para que el Padre sea glorificado en el Hijo. 14 Si me piden alguna cosa en mi nombre, yo la haré.
Jesús promete enviar el Espíritu
15 »Si me aman, guardarán mis mandamientos. 16 Y yo rogaré al Padre y les dará otro Consolador para que esté con ustedes para siempre. 17 Este es el Espíritu de verdad, a quien el mundo no puede recibir porque no lo ve ni lo conoce. Ustedes lo conocen, porque permanece con ustedes y está en ustedes. 18 No los dejaré huérfanos; volveré a ustedes. 19 Todavía un poquito y el mundo no me verá más; pero ustedes me verán. Porque yo vivo, también ustedes vivirán. 20 En aquel día ustedes conocerán que yo soy en mi Padre, y ustedes en mí, y yo en ustedes. 21 El que tiene mis mandamientos y los guarda, él es quien me ama. Y el que me ama será amado por mi Padre, y yo lo amaré y me manifestaré a él.
22 Le dijo Judas, no el Iscariote:
—Señor, ¿cómo es que te has de manifestar a nosotros y no al mundo?
23 Respondió Jesús y le dijo:
—Si alguno me ama, mi palabra guardará. Y mi Padre lo amará, y vendremos a él y haremos nuestra morada con él. 24 El que no me ama no guarda mis palabras. Y la palabra que escuchan no es mía sino del Padre que me envió.
25 »Estas cosas les he hablado mientras todavía estoy con ustedes. 26 Pero el Consolador, el Espíritu Santo que el Padre enviará en mi nombre, él les enseñará todas las cosas y les hará recordar todo lo que yo les he dicho.
27 »La paz les dejo, mi paz les doy. No como el mundo la da yo se la doy a ustedes. No se turbe su corazón ni tenga miedo. 28 Oyeron que yo les dije: “Voy y vuelvo a ustedes”. Si me amaran se gozarían de que voy al Padre, porque el Padre es mayor que yo.
29 »Ahora se lo he dicho antes que suceda para que, cuando suceda, crean. 30 Ya no hablaré mucho con ustedes porque viene el príncipe de este mundo y él no tiene nada en mí. 31 Pero para que el mundo conozca que yo amo al Padre y como el Padre me mandó, así hago.
»Levántense. ¡Vámonos de aquí!

No Greater Love—in Peace
14 “Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that you may also be where I am. 4 You know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5 “Lord, we don’t know where you are going,” Thomas replied, “so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 7 If you know me, you would also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 “Lord,” said Philip, “show us the Father, and that is enough for us.”
9 “Have I been with you so long,” Jesus answered, “and you still do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am telling you I am not speaking on my own, but the Father who remains in me is doing his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. Or else believe because of the works themselves.
12 “Amen, Amen, I tell you: The one who believes in me will do the works that I am doing. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “If you love me, hold on to my commands. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. 17 He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him or know him. You know him because he stays with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. 19 In a little while the world will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 The one who has my commands and holds on to them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father. I too will love him and show myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will hold on to my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 The one who does not love me does not hold on to my words. The word that you are hearing is not mine, but it is from the Father who sent me.
25 “I have told you these things while staying with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I told you.
27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not let it be afraid. 28 You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 “I have told you now before it happens so that, when it does happen, you may believe. 30 I will not speak with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me. 31 But I want the world to know that I love the Father and that I am doing exactly what the Father has instructed me.
“Get up. Let’s leave this place.”
