8
Philip said to Jesus, ‘Lord, show us the Father,
and we will be satisfied.’
9Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been
with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen
me has seen the Father. How can you say, "Show us the Father"?
10
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The
words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in
me does his works.
11Believe me that I am in the Father and
the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works
themselves.
12Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in
me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than
these, because I am going to the Father.
13I will do whatever
you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14
If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.
15
‘If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Advocate, to be with you for ever. 17This is the Spirit of
truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows
him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.
18
‘I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to
you.
19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but
you will see me; because I live, you also will live.
20On
that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21They who have my commandments and keep them are those who
love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them
and reveal myself to them.’
22Judas (not Iscariot) said to
him, ‘Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the
world?’
23Jesus answered him, ‘Those who love me will keep my
word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home
with them.
24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words;
and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me.
25
‘I have said these things to you while I am
still with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all
that I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I
give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled, and do not let them be afraid.’
