1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[1] believe also in me. (约12:44; 约14:27; 约16:22; 彼前3:14)2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?[2] (约2:16; 约8:21; 约13:33; 约13:36; 约16:7)3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. (约12:26; 约14:18; 约14:28; 约21:22)4And you know the way to where I am going.”[3]5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” (约11:16; 约13:36)6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (约1:14; 约1:17; 约11:25; 弗2:18; 來9:8; 來10:20; 约一5:20)7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.[4] From now on you do know him and have seen him.” (约6:46; 约8:19; 约一2:13)8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” (出33:18; 约1:43; 约12:21)9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? (约10:30; 约12:45; 约15:24; 西1:15; 來1:3)10Do 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 authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. (约5:19; 约10:38)11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. (约5:36; 约14:10)12“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. (太17:20; 太21:21; 可11:23; 可16:17; 约7:33; 约13:1; 约13:3; 约14:28; 约16:5; 约16:10; 约16:17; 约16:28; 约17:11; 约17:13; 约20:17)13Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (太7:7; 约13:31; 约15:16; 约16:23)14If you ask me[5] anything in my name, I will do it. (约14:13)
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. (约14:21; 约14:23; 约15:10; 约一2:3; 约一5:3; 约二1:6)16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,[6] to be with you forever, (约14:26; 约15:26; 约16:7)17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be[7] in you. (约15:26; 约16:13; 徒2:4; 羅8:9; 林前2:12; 林前2:14; 约一2:27; 约一4:6; 约一5:6; 约二1:2)18“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. (约14:3; 约14:28)19Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. (约7:33; 约12:45; 约16:16; 羅5:10; 弗2:5; 启20:4)20In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. (约14:10; 约15:4; 约16:23; 约16:26; 约17:21; 约17:23; 约17:26; 约一2:28)21Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” (约7:4; 约7:17; 约8:31; 约12:26; 约14:15; 约16:27; 约一2:5)22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” (路6:16; 徒1:13; 徒10:40)23Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. (约14:15; 约14:21; 林后6:16; 约一2:24; 启3:20)24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me. (约7:16; 约14:10)25“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. (路24:49; 约2:22; 约14:16; 约15:26; 约16:7; 约16:13; 徒2:33; 林前2:10; 约一2:20; 约一2:27)27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (路24:36; 约14:1; 约16:33; 约20:19; 约20:21; 约20:26; 弗2:17; 腓4:7; 西3:15; 提后1:7)28You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. (约8:21; 约10:29; 约14:2; 约14:12; 腓2:6)29And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. (约13:19; 约16:4)30I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, (约12:31; 约17:14; 约18:36; 來4:15)31but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here. (约12:49; 约17:21; 约17:23; 腓2:8; 來5:8)
