13:31 When ¹  Judas ²  had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 13:32 If God is glorified in him, ³  God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him right away. ⁴  13:33 Children, I am still with you for a little while. You will look for me, ⁵  and just as I said to the Jewish religious leaders, ⁶  ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ ⁷  now I tell you the same. ⁸ 

13:34 “I give you a new commandment – to love ⁹  one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ¹⁰  13:35 Everyone ¹¹  will know by this that you are my disciples – if you have love for one another.”

13:36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, ¹²  “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.” 13:37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!” ¹³  13:38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? ¹⁴  I tell you the solemn truth, ¹⁵  the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

14:1 “Do not let your hearts be distressed. ¹⁶  You believe in God; ¹⁷  believe also in me. 14:2 There are many dwelling places ¹⁸  in my Father’s house. ¹⁹  Otherwise, I would have told you, because ²⁰  I am going away to make ready ²¹  a place for you. ²²  14:3 And if I go and make ready ²³  a place for you, I will come again and take you ²⁴  to be with me, ²⁵  so that where I am you may be too. 14:4 And you know the way where I am going.” ²⁶ 

14:5 Thomas said, ²⁷  “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 14:6 Jesus replied, ²⁸  “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. ²⁹  No one comes to the Father except through me. 14:7 If you have known me, you will know my Father too. ³⁰  And from now on you do know him and have seen him.”

14:8 Philip said, ³¹  “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be content.” ³²  14:9 Jesus replied, ³³  “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known ³⁴  me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? ³⁵  The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative, ³⁶  but the Father residing in me performs ³⁷  his miraculous deeds. ³⁸  14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me, ³⁹  believe because of the miraculous deeds ⁴⁰  themselves. 14:12 I tell you the solemn truth, ⁴¹  the person who believes in me will perform ⁴²  the miraculous deeds ⁴³  that I am doing, ⁴⁴  and will perform ⁴⁵  greater deeds ⁴⁶  than these, because I am going to the Father. 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, ⁴⁷  so that the Father may be glorified ⁴⁸  in the Son. 14:14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

14:15 “If you love me, you will obey ⁴⁹  my commandments. ⁵⁰  14:16 Then ⁵¹  I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate ⁵²  to be with you forever – 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, ⁵³  because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides ⁵⁴  with you and will be ⁵⁵  in you.

14:18 “I will not abandon ⁵⁶  you as orphans, ⁵⁷  I will come to you. ⁵⁸  14:19 In a little while ⁵⁹  the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too. 14:20 You will know at that time ⁶⁰  that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you. 14:21 The person who has my commandments and obeys ⁶¹  them is the one who loves me. ⁶²  The one ⁶³  who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal ⁶⁴  myself to him.”

14:22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) ⁶⁵  said, ⁶⁶  “what has happened that you are going to reveal ⁶⁷  yourself to us and not to the world?” 14:23 Jesus replied, ⁶⁸  “If anyone loves me, he will obey ⁶⁹  my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him. ⁷⁰  14:24 The person who does not love me does not obey ⁷¹  my words. And the word ⁷²  you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

14:25 “I have spoken these things while staying ⁷³  with you. 14:26 But the Advocate, ⁷⁴  the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you ⁷⁵  everything, ⁷⁶  and will cause you to remember everything ⁷⁷  I said to you.

14:27 “Peace I leave with you; ⁷⁸  my peace I give to you; I do not give it ⁷⁹  to you as the world does. ⁸⁰  Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage. ⁸¹  14:28 You heard me say to you, ⁸²  ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad ⁸³  that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am. ⁸⁴  14:29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe. ⁸⁵  14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, ⁸⁶  for the ruler of this world is coming. ⁸⁷  He has no power over me, ⁸⁸  14:31 but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know ⁸⁹  that I love the Father. ⁹⁰  Get up, let us go from here.” ⁹¹ 

15:1 “I am the true vine ⁹²  and my Father is the gardener. ⁹³  15:2 He takes away ⁹⁴  every branch that does not bear ⁹⁵  fruit in me. He ⁹⁶  prunes ⁹⁷  every branch that bears ⁹⁸  fruit so that it will bear more fruit. 15:3 You are clean already ⁹⁹  because of the word that I have spoken to you. 15:4 Remain ¹⁰⁰  in me, and I will remain in you. ¹⁰¹  Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, ¹⁰²  unless it remains ¹⁰³  in ¹⁰⁴  the vine, so neither can you unless you remain ¹⁰⁵  in me.

15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains ¹⁰⁶  in me – and I in him – bears ¹⁰⁷  much fruit, ¹⁰⁸  because apart from me you can accomplish ¹⁰⁹  nothing. 15:6 If anyone does not remain ¹¹⁰  in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, ¹¹¹  and are burned up. ¹¹²  15:7 If you remain ¹¹³  in me and my words remain ¹¹⁴  in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. ¹¹⁵  15:8 My Father is honored ¹¹⁶  by this, that ¹¹⁷  you bear ¹¹⁸  much fruit and show that you are ¹¹⁹  my disciples.

15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain ¹²⁰  in my love. 15:10 If you obey ¹²¹  my commandments, you will remain ¹²²  in my love, just as I have obeyed ¹²³  my Father’s commandments and remain ¹²⁴  in his love. 15:11 I have told you these things ¹²⁵  so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete. 15:12 My commandment is this – to love one another just as I have loved you. ¹²⁶  15:13 No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life ¹²⁷  for his friends. 15:14 You are my friends ¹²⁸  if you do what I command you. 15:15 I no longer call you slaves, ¹²⁹  because the slave does not understand ¹³⁰  what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything ¹³¹  I heard ¹³²  from my Father. 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you ¹³³  and appointed you to go and bear ¹³⁴  fruit, fruit that remains, ¹³⁵  so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. 15:17 This ¹³⁶  I command you – to love one another.

15:18 “If the world hates you, be aware ¹³⁷  that it hated me first. ¹³⁸  15:19 If you belonged to the world, ¹³⁹  the world would love you as its own. ¹⁴⁰  However, because you do not belong to the world, ¹⁴¹  but I chose you out of the world, for this reason ¹⁴²  the world hates you. ¹⁴³  15:20 Remember what ¹⁴⁴  I told you, ‘A slave ¹⁴⁵  is not greater than his master.’ ¹⁴⁶  If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed ¹⁴⁷  my word, they will obey ¹⁴⁸  yours too. 15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of ¹⁴⁹  my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. ¹⁵⁰  15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. ¹⁵¹  But they no longer have any excuse for their sin. 15:23 The one who hates me hates my Father too. 15:24 If I had not performed ¹⁵²  among them the miraculous deeds ¹⁵³  that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. ¹⁵⁴  But now they have seen the deeds ¹⁵⁵  and have hated both me and my Father. ¹⁵⁶  15:25 Now this happened ¹⁵⁷  to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’ ¹⁵⁸  15:26 When the Advocate ¹⁵⁹  comes, whom I will send you from the Father – the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father – he ¹⁶⁰  will testify about me, 15:27 and you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

16:1 “I have told you all these things so that you will not fall away. ¹⁶¹  16:2 They will put you out of ¹⁶²  the synagogue, ¹⁶³  yet a time ¹⁶⁴  is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God. ¹⁶⁵  16:3 They ¹⁶⁶  will do these things because they have not known the Father or me. ¹⁶⁷  16:4 But I have told you these things ¹⁶⁸  so that when their time ¹⁶⁹  comes, you will remember that I told you about them. ¹⁷⁰ 

“I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you. ¹⁷¹  16:5 But now I am going to the one who sent me, ¹⁷²  and not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’ ¹⁷³  16:6 Instead your hearts are filled with sadness ¹⁷⁴  because I have said these things to you. 16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate ¹⁷⁵  will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you. 16:8 And when he ¹⁷⁶  comes, he will prove the world wrong ¹⁷⁷  concerning sin and ¹⁷⁸  righteousness and ¹⁷⁹  judgment – 16:9 concerning sin, because ¹⁸⁰  they do not believe in me; ¹⁸¹  16:10 concerning righteousness, ¹⁸²  because ¹⁸³  I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; 16:11 and concerning judgment, ¹⁸⁴  because ¹⁸⁵  the ruler of this world ¹⁸⁶  has been condemned. ¹⁸⁷ 

16:12 “I have many more things to say to you, ¹⁸⁸  but you cannot bear ¹⁸⁹  them now. 16:13 But when he, ¹⁹⁰  the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide ¹⁹¹  you into all truth. ¹⁹²  For he will not speak on his own authority, ¹⁹³  but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you ¹⁹⁴  what is to come. ¹⁹⁵  16:14 He ¹⁹⁶  will glorify me, ¹⁹⁷  because he will receive ¹⁹⁸  from me what is mine ¹⁹⁹  and will tell it to you. ²⁰⁰  16:15 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit ²⁰¹  will receive from me what is mine ²⁰²  and will tell it to you. ²⁰³  16:16 In a little while you ²⁰⁴  will see me no longer; again after a little while, you ²⁰⁵  will see me.” ²⁰⁶ 

16:17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What is the meaning of what he is saying, ²⁰⁷  ‘In a little while you ²⁰⁸  will not see me; again after a little while, you ²⁰⁹  will see me,’ and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?” ²¹⁰  16:18 So they kept on repeating, ²¹¹  “What is the meaning of what he says, ²¹²  ‘In a little while’? ²¹³  We do not understand ²¹⁴  what he is talking about.” ²¹⁵ 

16:19 Jesus could see ²¹⁶  that they wanted to ask him about these things, ²¹⁷  so ²¹⁸  he said to them, “Are you asking ²¹⁹  each other about this – that I said, ‘In a little while you ²²⁰  will not see me; again after a little while, you ²²¹  will see me’? 16:20 I tell you the solemn truth, ²²²  you will weep ²²³  and wail, ²²⁴  but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, ²²⁵  but your sadness will turn into ²²⁶  joy. 16:21 When a woman gives birth, she has distress ²²⁷  because her time ²²⁸  has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being ²²⁹  has been born into the world. ²³⁰  16:22 So also you have sorrow ²³¹  now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. ²³²  16:23 At that time ²³³  you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, ²³⁴  whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. ²³⁵  16:24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it, ²³⁶  so that your joy may be complete.

16:25 “I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech; ²³⁷  a time ²³⁸  is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell you ²³⁹  plainly ²⁴⁰  about the Father. 16:26 At that time ²⁴¹  you will ask in my name, and I do not say ²⁴²  that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. ²⁴³  16:28 I came from the Father and entered into the world, but in turn, ²⁴⁴  I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” ²⁴⁵ 

16:29 His disciples said, “Look, now you are speaking plainly ²⁴⁶  and not in obscure figures of speech! ²⁴⁷  16:30 Now we know that you know everything ²⁴⁸  and do not need anyone ²⁴⁹  to ask you anything. ²⁵⁰  Because of this ²⁵¹  we believe that you have come from God.”

16:31 Jesus replied, ²⁵²  “Do you now believe? 16:32 Look, a time ²⁵³  is coming – and has come – when you will be scattered, each one to his own home, ²⁵⁴  and I will be left alone. ²⁵⁵  Yet ²⁵⁶  I am not alone, because my Father ²⁵⁷  is with me. 16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, ²⁵⁸  but take courage ²⁵⁹  – I have conquered the world.” ²⁶⁰
