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.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.

Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

[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 will be in you.

Ye have heard that I said to you, I go away, and come [again] to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I depart; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

But, when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth: for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he shall hear, [that] will he speak: and he will show you things to come.

He will glorify me: for he will receive of mine, and will show [it] to you.

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

At that day ye will ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:

For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.
