Let not your heart be troubled: Believe on God, and, on me, believe.

In the house of my Father, are, many dwellings; or else I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you.

And, if I go, and prepare a place for you, again, am I coming, and will take you home unto - myself, that, where, I, am, ye also, may be.

And, whither, I, go, ye know, the way.

Thomas saith unto him - Lord! we know not whither thou goest: How know we, the way?

Jesus saith unto him - I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through me.

If ye had been getting to know me, my Father also, had ye known: from henceforth, are ye getting to know him, and have seen him.

Philip saith unto him - Lord! show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Jesus saith unto him - So long a time as this, have I been, with you, - and thou hast not come to know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How art, thou, saying, Show us the Father?

Believest thou not, that, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, is, in me? The things which I am saying unto you, from myself, I speak not; but, the Father, within me abiding, doeth his works.

Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; - or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.

Verily, verily, I say unto you - He that believeth on me, the works which, I, am doing, he also, shall do; and, greater than these, shall he do, because, I, unto the Father, am going, -

And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son:

If anything ye shall ask mein my name, the same, will I do.

If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep;

And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age-abidingly,

The Spirit of truth, - which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.

I will not leave you bereft, - I am coming unto you.

Yet a little, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me, - Because, I, live, ye also, shall live.

In that day, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, in me, and, I, in you.

He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him.

Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him - Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world?

Jesus answered, and said unto him - If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him, - and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make.

He that loveth me not, doth not keep, my word; - and, the word which ye hear, is not mine, but, the Father's who sent me.

These things, have I spoken unto you, With you abiding;

But, the Advocate, The Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He, will teach you all things, and will put you in mind, of all things which, I, told you.

Peace, I leave with you, My own peace, give, I, unto you, - Not as, the world, giveth, give, I, unto you: - Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Ye heard that, I, said unto you - I go my way, and I come unto you, - Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the Father, is, greater than I.

But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe.

No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world's ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing, -

But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do. Be rousing yourselves! let us be leading on from hence.

I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.

Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:

Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide.

I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.

If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, - and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.

If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you.

Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.

Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.

If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, - just as, I, the Father's commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.

These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.

This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.

Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.

Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.

No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you.

Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, - and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.

These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.

If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.

If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.

Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, - If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.

But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.

Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.

He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.

Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.

But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled - They hated me without cause.

Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me;

And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,

These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:

Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!

And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.

But, these things, have I told you, - That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you;

But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me - Whither goest thou?

But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.

But, I, the truth, am telling you - It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you.

And, having come, He, will reprove the world - Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:

Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;

But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;

And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.

Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying, - but ye cannot bear them, just now;

Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come - The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you.

He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I - Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.

Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another - What is this which he is saying to us: - A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and - Because I go my way unto the Father?

They were saying, therefore - What is this which he saith: - A little while? We know not what he is saying.

Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them - Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another, - because I said: - A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

Verily, verily, I say unto you - Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned.

A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.

And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice, - and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.

And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing: - Verily, verily, I say unto you - Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name.

Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, - that, your joy, may be made full.

These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you.

In that day, In my name, shall ye ask: - and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;

For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: -

I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world, - Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.

His disciples say - See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:

Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.

Jesus answered them - As yet, ye believe:

Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; - And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me!

These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage, - I, have overcome the world.

These things, spake Jesus, and, lifting up his eyes unto heaven, said: - Father! The hour is come! Glorify thy Son, that, the Son, may glorify, thee, -

Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that, as touching whatsoever thou hast given him, he might give unto them, life age-abiding.

And, this, is the age-abiding life, That they get to know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou didst send, Jesus Christ.

I, glorified thee on the earth, The work, finishing, which thou hast given me that I should do.

And, now, glorify me - thou, Father! with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world's existence, with thee.

I manifested thy name, unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: Thine, they were, and, to me, thou gavest them, and, thy word, have they kept:

Now, have they come to know, That, all things, as many as thou gavest me, are, from thee;

And, the declarations which thou gavest me, have I given them, and, they, received them, and came to know in truth, that, from thee, came I forth, - and they believed, that, thou, didst send me forth.

I, concerning them, make request: not, concerning the world, do I make request, but concerning them whom thou hast given me, because, thine, they are, -

And, all my possessions, are, thine, and, thy possessions, mine, and I have been glorified in them.

And, no longer, am I in the world, and, they, are, in the world, - and, I, unto thee, am coming. Holy Father! Keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, as, we.

When I was with them, I, kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, - And I kept watch, and, none from among them, went the destruction, - save the son of destruction, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled.

But, now, unto thee, am I coming; and, these things, am I speaking in the world, that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves.

I, have given them thy word, and, the world, hated them, because they are not of the world - even as, I, am not of the world.

I request not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them out of the evil:

Of the world, they are not, even as, I, am not of the world.

Hallow them in the truth: Thine own word, is, truth:

Even as thou didst send me forth into the world, I also, send them forth into the world;

And, on their behalf, I, hallow myself, that, they also, may have become hallowed in truth.

Not however concerning these alone, do I make request, but, concerning them also who believe, through their word, on me:

That they, all, may be, one, - even as, thou, Father, in me, and, I, in thee, - that, they also, in us, may be; - that, the world, may believe that, thou, didst send me forth.

And, I, the glory which thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one, even as, we, are, one. -

I, in them and, thou, in me; That they may have been perfected into, one, - That the world may get to know, that, thou, didst send me forth, and didst love them even as thou didst love, me.

Father! As touching that which thou hast given me, I desire - That, where, I, am, they also, may be, with me, that they may behold my own glory which thou hast given me, - because thou lovedst me, before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father! And so, the world, came not to know thee; but, I, came to know thee, and, these, came to know that, thou, didst send me forth:

And I made known unto them thy name, and will make known, - that, the love wherewith thou lovedst me, in them, may be, and, I, in them.
