John:14-15
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Don '
t let your heart be troubled .
Believe in God .
Believe also in me .
*
In my Father '
s house are many homes .
If it weren '
t so ,
I would have told you .
I am going to prepare a place for you .
*
If I go and prepare a place for you ,
I will come again ,
and will receive you to myself ;
that where I am ,
you may be there also .
*
Where I go ,
you know ,
and you know the way ."
*
Thomas said to him , "
Lord ,
we don '
t know where you are going .
How can we know the way ?"
*
Jesus said to him , "
I am the way ,
the truth ,
and the life .
No one comes to the Father ,
except through me .
*
If you had known me ,
you would have known my Father also .
From now on ,
you know him ,
and have seen him ."
*
Philip said to him , "
Lord ,
show us the Father ,
and that will be enough for us ."
*
Jesus said to him , "
Have I been with you such a long time ,
and do you not know me ,
Philip ?
He who has seen me has seen the Father .
How do you say , '
Show us the Father ?'
*
Don '
t you believe that I am in the Father ,
and the Father in me ?
The words that I tell you ,
I speak not from myself ;
but the Father who lives in me does his works .
*
Believe me that I am in the Father ,
and the Father in me ;
or else believe me for the very works '
sake .
*
Most certainly I tell you ,
he who believes in me ,
the works that I do ,
he will do also ;
and he will do greater works than these ,
because I am going to my Father .
*
Whatever you will ask in my name ,
that will I do ,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son .
*
If you will ask anything in my name ,
I will do it .
*
If you love me ,
keep my commandments .
*
I will pray to the Father ,
and he will give you another Counselor , {
Greek Parakleton :
Counselor ,
Helper ,
Intercessor ,
Advocate ,
and Comforter .}
that he may be with you forever ,--
*
the Spirit of truth ,
whom the world can '
t receive ;
for it doesn '
t see him ,
neither knows him .
You know him ,
for he lives with you ,
and will be in you .
*
I will not leave you orphans .
I will come to you .
*
Yet a little while ,
and the world will see me no more ;
but you will see me .
Because I live ,
you will live also .
*
In that day you will know that I am in my Father ,
and you in me ,
and I in you .
*
One who has my commandments ,
and keeps them ,
that person is one who loves me .
One who loves me will be loved by my Father ,
and I will love him ,
and will reveal myself to him ."
*
Judas (
not Iscariot )
said to him , "
Lord ,
what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us ,
and not to the world ?"
*
Jesus answered him , "
If a man loves me ,
he will keep my word .
My Father will love him ,
and we will come to him ,
and make our home with him .
*
He who doesn '
t love me doesn '
t keep my words .
The word which you hear isn '
t mine ,
but the Father '
s who sent me .
*
I have said these things to you ,
while still living with you .
*
But the Counselor ,
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 .
*
Peace I leave with you .
My peace I give to you ;
not as the world gives ,
give I to you .
Don '
t let your heart be troubled ,
neither let it be fearful .
*
You heard how I told you , '
I go away ,
and I come to you .'
If you loved me ,
you would have rejoiced ,
because I said '
I am going to my Father ;'
for the Father is greater than I .
*
Now I have told you before it happens so that ,
when it happens ,
you may believe .
*
I will no more speak much with you ,
for the prince of the world comes ,
and he has nothing in me .
*
But that the world may know that I love the Father ,
and as the Father commanded me ,
even so I do .
Arise ,
let us go from here .
* "
I am the true vine ,
and my Father is the farmer .
*
Every branch in me that doesn '
t bear fruit ,
he takes away .
Every branch that bears fruit ,
he prunes ,
that it may bear more fruit .
*
You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you .
*
Remain in me ,
and I in you .
As the branch can '
t bear fruit by itself ,
unless it remains in the vine ,
so neither can you ,
unless you remain in me .
*
I am the vine .
You are the branches .
He who remains in me ,
and I in him ,
the same bears much fruit ,
for apart from me you can do nothing .
*
If a man doesn '
t remain in me ,
he is thrown out as a branch ,
and is withered ;
and they gather them ,
throw them into the fire ,
and they are burned .
*
If you remain in me ,
and my words remain in you ,
you will ask whatever you desire ,
and it will be done for you .
* "
In this is my Father glorified ,
that you bear much fruit ;
and so you will be my disciples .
*
Even as the Father has loved me ,
I also have loved you .
Remain in my love .
*
If you keep my commandments ,
you will remain in my love ;
even as I have kept my Father '
s commandments ,
and remain in his love .
*
I have spoken these things to you ,
that my joy may remain in you ,
and that your joy may be made full .
* "
This is my commandment ,
that you love one another ,
even as I have loved you .
*
Greater love has no one than this ,
that someone lay down his life for his friends .
*
You are my friends ,
if you do whatever I command you .
*
No longer do I call you servants ,
for the servant doesn '
t know what his lord does .
But I have called you friends ,
for everything that I heard from my Father ,
I have made known to you .
*
You didn '
t choose me ,
but I chose you ,
and appointed you ,
that you should go and bear fruit ,
and that your fruit should remain ;
that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name ,
he may give it to you .
* "
I command these things to you ,
that you may love one another .
*
If the world hates you ,
you know that it has hated me before it hated you .
*
If you were of the world ,
the world would love its own .
But because you are not of the world ,
since I chose you out of the world ,
therefore the world hates you .
*
Remember the word that I said to you : '
A servant is not greater than his lord .' {
John strkjv @
13:16 }
If they persecuted me ,
they will also persecute you .
If they kept my word ,
they will keep yours also .
*
But all these things will they do to you for my name '
s sake ,
because they don '
t know him who sent me .
*
If I had not come and spoken to them ,
they would not have had sin ;
but now they have no excuse for their sin .
*
He who hates me ,
hates my Father also .
*
If I hadn '
t done among them the works which no one else did ,
they wouldn '
t have had sin .
But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father .
*
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law , '
They hated me without a cause .' {
Psalms strkjv @
35:19 ;
strkjv @
69:4 }
* "
When the Counselor {
Greek Parakletos :
Counselor ,
Helper ,
Advocate ,
Intercessor ,
and Comforter .}
has come ,
whom I will send to you from the Father ,
the Spirit of truth ,
who proceeds from the Father ,
he will testify about me .
*
You will also testify ,
because you have been with me from the beginning .
* "
These things have I spoken to you ,
so that you wouldn '
t be caused to stumble .
