“Don’t let your heart be troubled: you believe in HaShem, 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 to prepare
a place for you, I will come again and will receive you unto myself:
that where I am, there you may be, also.
4
You know where I go; and the way I go, you also know.”
5 Toma said to
him, “Rebbe, we don’t know
where you are going; so how can we know the way!?”
6 Yahushua
answered him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes
to the Father, but by me.
7 “If you had
known me, you would have
known my Father also: and from this moment on, you know him, and
have seen him.”
8
Philip asked of Y’shua, “Rebbe, show us
Father
hy, and that will be enough for us.”
9
Yahushua answered him, “Have I been with you
all this time, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has
perceived me has perceived the Father. How is it, then, that you
ask, ‘Show us the
Father?’
10
“Don’t you believe that I am in the Father,
and the Father is in me!? I don’t say the words I speak to you on my
own initiative or on my own behalf. The Father, who dwells in me: it
is he who does the works.
11
“Believe me when I say that I am in the
Father; and the Father, in me; or else, believe me because of the
works; for these things a man cannot do on his own.
12 “Truly: in truth, I tell you that he that believes on me,
shall do the works that I do, also; and greater works than these
shall he do. because I go to my Father.
13 “And whatever you shall ask, believing that we are positioned
as One, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14“If you ask
anything, positioned as though you are me, I will do it.
15
“If you love me, keep my commandments.
16
“I shall petition the Father; and he will give you another
comforter, that HaShem may abide among you forever:
17 “The Father
will fill you with Ruach
HaQodesh, the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot
receive the Spirit of HaShem because it doesn’t perceive him,
neither does it know him. But
you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 “I will not
leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19
“Yet a little while,
and the world will
no longer see me. But you
see me; and because I
live, you shall live also.
20
“In the day HaShem sends his Ruach HaQodesh
of Truth to comfort you, you will understand that I am in my Father,
as you are in me, and as I am in you.
21 “He that
has my commandments and keeps them: it is he that loves me. He that
loves me shall be loved of my Father; and I will love him, and I
will manifest myself within him.”
22 Another disciple named Yehudah (not K’riot) asked Y’shua,
“Rebbe, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not
unto the whole world?”
23 Yahushua answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my words;
and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and will
dwell within him.
24
“He that doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my sayings; and the Word,
which you have heard of
me, is not mine, but the Father’s, who sent me.
25 “I have spoken to
you of these things while I am yet with you.
26 “But the
Comforter—Ruach HaQodesh, the Breath of Holiness, which the Father
will send in my Name, he will teach you all things, and shall bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 “Peace I
leave with you. My peace I give unto you. I do not give you my peace
conditionally, as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
28
“You have heard me tell you that I go away and will return to you
again? If you loved me, you would rejoice because I said that I go
unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 “And, now,
I have told you all this before it comes to pass, that when it
does come to pass, you
might believe.
30 “After this, I
won’t talk much with you; for the power of this world presses upon
us, and it has no place in me.
31 “I do these
things so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that
as the Father gives me commandment, even so I do. Arise! Let’s go
beyond this place!”
