John:14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Jesus said ,
Do not let anything trouble your heart .
You believe in God and you must believe in me also .
*
In my Fathers house are many rooms .
If it were not so ,
I would have told you .
I am going to make a place ready for you .
*
If I go to make a place ready for you ,
I will come again .
I will come to take you so that you may be with me .
*
You know where I am going ,
and you know the way .
*
Thomas said to Jesus ,
Lord ,
we do not know where you are going .
How can we know the way ?
*
Jesus said to him ,
I am the way .
I am the truth .
I give life .
No one can come to my Father unless I take him there .
*
If you knew me ,
you would have known my Father also .
But from now on you do know him because you have seen him .
*
Philip said to him ,
Lord ,
show us the Father ,
then we will be happy .
*
Jesus said to him ,
Philip ,
you mean to say that I have been with you all this time and yet you do not know me ?
The person who has seen me has seen my Father also .
Why do you say , "
Show us your Father "?
*
Do you not believe that I am in my Father and my Father is in me ?
The things that I say ,
I speak not from my own mind .
But my Father lives in me and he does the work .
*
I tell you that I am in my Father and my Father is in me .
But you do not believe me .
So then let the work that I do prove it to you .
*
I tell you the truth .
The person who believes in me will do the big work that I do .
And he will do even bigger work because I go to my Father .
*
I will do anything you ask of my Father in my name .
In that way the Son will make my Fathers name great .
*
If you ask anything in my name ,
I will do it .
*
If you love me ,
you will obey me .
*
I will ask my Father .
He will give you another one to help you and to be with you always .
*
He will send you the Spirit of truth .
The world cannot receive the true Spirit because it does not see or know him .
You know him because he is with you and will be in you .
*
I will not leave you without someone to help you .
And I myself will come back to you .
*
In a short time the world will not see me again ,
but you will see me again .
Because I live ,
you will live also .
*
At that time you will know that I am in my Father .
You are in me ,
and I am in you .
*
He who knows the things I tell him to do and does them ,
really loves me .
My Father will love him and I also will love him .
I will show him who I am .
*
Judas (
not Iscariot )
said to Jesus ,
Lord ,
how are you going to make yourself real to us ,
and not to the rest of the world ?
*
Jesus said to him ,
If a person loves me ,
he will obey me .
My Father also will love him .
And we will come to him and will live with him .
*
The person who does not love me does not obey me .
The word which you hear is not my word .
It is my Fathers word .
He is the one who sent me .
*
I have told you these things while I am still with you .
*
But the Holy Spirit is the one who will help you .
My Father will send him in my name .
He will teach you everything that I have said to you .
His Helper will remind you of all that I said .
*
Peace is what I leave for you .
I give you my own peace .
People of the world also say , "
Peace "
to you .
I do not say it as they say it .
Do not let anything trouble your hearts .
Do not fear .
*
You heard me say , "
I am going away and then I will come back to you ."
If you really loved me ,
then you would have been very glad that I am going to my Father .
My Father is greater than I am .
*
I have told you this before it happens .
Then when it does happen ,
you will believe .
*
After this I will not talk much with you .
The ruler of this world is coming .
He has no power over me .
*
I will do what my Father tells me to do so that the people of the world may know that I love my Father .
Get up now !
We must go .
