1 Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, 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 and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and
from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and
yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath
seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in
me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but
the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or
else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him;
for he dwelleth 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 seeth me no more; but ye
see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in
me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou
wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go
unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it
is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as
the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.1 |

Context of John 14 |
This chapter is a
continuation of Christ's discourse with his disciples
after supper. When he had convicted and discarded Judas,
he set himself to comfort the rest, who were full of
sorrow upon what he had said of leaving them, and a great
many good words and comfortable words he here speaks to
them. The discourse in interlocutory; as Peter in the
foregoing chapter, so Thomas, and Philip, and Jude, in
this interposed their thoughts upon what he said,
according to the liberty he was pleased to allow them.
Free conferences are as instructive as solemn speeches,
and more so.2

Structure of John 14 |
The
general scope of this chapter is in the first verse; it
is designed to keep trouble from their hearts; now in
order to this they must believe: and let them consider,
I. Heaven as their everlasting rest (v. 2, 3).
II.
Christ himself as their way (v. 4-11).
III. The great
power they shall be clothed with by the prevalency of
their prayers (v. 12-14).
IV. The coming of another
comforter (v. 15-17).
V. The fellowship and communion
that should be between him and them after his departure
(v. 18-24).
VI. The instructions which the Holy Ghost
should give them (v. 25, 26).
VII. The peace Christ
bequeathed to them (v. 27).
VIII. Christ's own
cheerfulness in his departure (v. 28-31). And this which
he said to them is designed for the comfort of all his
faithful followers.2
