John 14
|
|
| 14:1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. |
|
| 14:2
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. |
(14:2) "I go to prepare a place for you."
When was heaven created?
|
| 14:3
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.
|
| 14:4
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. |
|
| 14:5
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can
we know the way? |
|
| 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me. |
(14:6) "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me."
Jesus is the only way to heaven. All other religions lead to hell.
|
| 14:7
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
|
| 14:8
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. |
|
| 14:9
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? |
(14:9) "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father."
Can God be seen?
Is Jesus God?
|
| 14:10
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.
|
| 14:11
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe
me for the very works' sake. |
(14:12) "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than these shall he do."
Those who believe in Jesus will be able to perform even greater miracles than he did!
(14:13-14) The greatest lie ever told.
(14:13) "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do."
(14:14) "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."
|
| 14:12
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.
|
| 14:13
And whatsoever ye
shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified
in the Son.
|
| 14:14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
|
| 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
|
| 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that
he may abide with you for ever;
|
| 14:17
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. |
|
| 14:18
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. |
|
| 14:19
Yet a little while, and the
world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because
I live, ye shall live also. |
(14:19) "Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more."
Will Jesus' second coming be visible to all?
|
| 14:20
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in
you.
|
| 14:21
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. |
(14:21) "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."
If you follow Jesus' teachings, God will love you -- otherwise... well, you know.
|
| 14:22
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
|
| 14:23
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. |
|
| 14:24
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. |
|
| 14:25
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. |
|
| 14:26
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. |
(14:26) "The Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send."
Who sent the Holy Ghost?
(14:27) "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you."
Is Jesus peaceful?
(14:28) "My Father is greater than I."
Is Jesus God?
(14:30) "The prince of this world"
Who is the Lord of the earth?
|
| 14:27
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.
|
| 14:28
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.
|
| 14:29
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to
pass, ye might believe.
|
| 14:30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me.
|
| 14:31
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.
