John 14:1-31

MLV(i) 1 Do not let your heart be disturbed; you believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many abodes; otherwise, I would have told you. I am traveling on to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I travel on, I will be preparing a place for you. I am coming again and will be receiving you to myself; in order that where I am, you may also be there. 4 And I am going where you know and you know the way.
5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; how are we able to know the way?
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. 7 If you had known me, you would have also known my Father; from now on you know him and have seen him.
8 Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father and it is enough for us.
9 Jesus says to him, So-much time I have been with you and you have not known me Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how can you say this? Show us the Father. 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. 11 Either believe me, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, otherwise believe me because of the works themselves. 12 Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, He who believes in me, the works which I am doing, he will also be doing, and he will be doing greater works than these, because I am traveling on to my Father. 13 And if you ask anything in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father might be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do that. 15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will be requesting of the Father and he will be giving you another Helper, in order that he may abide with you forever, 17 the Spirit of the truth, whom the world is not able to 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. 18 I will not be leaving you orphans. I am coming to you. 19 Still a little while and the world views me no more, but you view me, because I am living, you will also be living. 20 You will know in that day that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you. 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 be manifesting myself to him.
22 Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, Lord, what has happened that you are about to manifest yourself to us and not to the world?
23 Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves me, he will be keeping my word and my Father will love him, and we will be coming to him and we will be making our abode with him. 24 He who does not love me, is not keeping my words.
And the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s, he who sent me.
25 I have spoken these things to you, while remaining with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will be sending in my name, that one will be teaching you all things and will be reminding you of all things which I said to you. 27 I am leaving peace with you. I am giving my peace to you; not like the world gives, I am giving to you. Let your heart not be disturbed, nor let it be cowardly. 28 You heard that I said to you, I am traveling on and I am coming to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said, I am traveling on to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have spoken this to you before it is to happen, in order that, whenever it should happen, you may believe. 30 I will not be speaking much anymore with you, for the ruler of the world is coming and he has nothing in me; 31 but in order that the world may know that I love the Father and just-as the Father commanded me, thus I am doing.
Arise, we should go from here.
