Johannes 14

Veien, sannheten og livet

1  t La ikke hjertet bli grepet av angst. Tro på Gud og tro på meg! 2 t I min Fars hus er det mange rom. Var det ikke slik, hadde jeg da sagt dere at jeg går og vil gjøre i stand et sted for dere? 3 t Og når jeg har gått og gjort i stand et sted for dere, vil jeg komme tilbake og ta dere til meg, så dere skal være der jeg er.

4 Og dit jeg går, vet dere veien.»
5 Tomas sier til ham: «Herre, vi vet ikke hvor du går. Hvordan kan vi da vite veien?» 6 t Jesus sier: «Jeg er veien, sannheten og livet. Ingen kommer til Far uten ved meg.

7 t Har dere kjent meg, skal dere også kjenne min Far. Fra nå av kjenner dere ham og har sett ham.»
8 Da sier Filip: «Herre, vis oss Far, det er nok for oss.» 9 t Jesus svarer: «Kjenner du meg ikke, Filip, enda jeg har vært hos dere så lenge? Den som har sett meg, har sett Far. Hvordan kan du da si: ‘Vis oss Far’? 10 t Tror du ikke at jeg er i Far og Far i meg? De ord jeg sier til dere, har jeg ikke fra meg selv: Far er i meg og gjør sine gjerninger. 11 t Tro meg: Jeg er i Far og Far i meg. Om ikke for annet, så tro det for selve gjerningenes skyld. 12 Sannelig, sannelig, jeg sier dere: Den som tror på meg, skal også gjøre de gjerningene jeg gjør, ja, enda større gjerninger, for jeg går til Far. 13 t Og det dere ber om i mitt navn, vil jeg gjøre, så Faderen skal bli æret gjennom Sønnen.

14 Dersom dere ber meg om noe i mitt navn, vil jeg gjøre det.

Løftet om Den hellige ånd

20 t Den dagen skal dere skjønne at jeg er i min Far, og at dere er i meg og jeg i dere.

21 Den som kjenner mine bud og holder dem, han er det som elsker meg. Og den som elsker meg, skal min Far elske. Ja, også jeg skal elske ham og åpenbare meg for ham.»
22  t Judas – ikke Judas Iskariot – sier til ham: «Herre, hvorfor skal du åpenbare deg for oss og ikke for verden?» 23 t Jesus svarte: «Den som elsker meg, vil holde fast på mitt ord, og min Far skal elske ham, og vi skal komme og bo hos ham. 24 t Den som ikke elsker meg, holder ikke fast på mine ord. Det ordet dere hører, er ikke fra meg, men fra Far, han som har sendt meg. 25 Dette har jeg sagt dere mens jeg ennå er hos dere.

26 t Men Talsmannen, Den hellige ånd, som Far skal sende i mitt navn, skal lære dere alt og minne dere om alt det jeg har sagt dere.

Kristi fred

Jesus’ Parting Words to His Disciples

1 “Do not let your hearts be distressed.s You believe in God;t believe also in me.2 There are many dwelling placest in my Father’s house.s Otherwise, I would have told you, becausests I am going away to make readyt a place for you.t3 And if I go and make readyt a place for you, I will come again and take yout to be with me,t so that where I am you may be too.

4 And you know the way where I am going.”ss
5 Thomas said,t “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”6 Jesus replied,t “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.t No one comes to the Father except through me.

7 If you have known me, you will know my Father too.s And from now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said,t “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be content.”t9 Jesus replied,t “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not knownt me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me?t The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative,t but the Father residing in me performst his miraculous deeds.ts11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me,t believe because of the miraculous deedsts themselves.12 I tell you the solemn truth,t the person who believes in me will performt the miraculous deedst that I am doing,ts and will performt greater deedsts than these, because I am going to the Father.13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name,t so that the Father may be glorifiedt in the Son.

14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

Teaching on the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, you will obeyt my commandments.s16 Thent I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocatet to be with you forever –

17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,t because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he residest with you and will bes in you.
18 “I will not abandont you as orphans,t I will come to you.s19 In a little whilet the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.20 You will know at that timets that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

21 The person who has my commandments and obeyst them is the one who loves me.t The onet who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will revealt myself to him.”
22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot)ts said,t “what has happened that you are going to revealts yourself to us and not to the world?”23 Jesus replied,t “If anyone loves me, he will obeyt my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.t

24 The person who does not love me does not obeyt my words. And the wordt you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 “I have spoken these things while stayingt with you.

26 But the Advocate,t the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach yout everything,t and will cause you to remember everythingt I said to you.
27 “Peace I leave with you;s my peace I give to you; I do not give itt to you as the world does.t Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.t28 You heard me say to you,t ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be gladt that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.s29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.s30 I will not speak with you much longer,t for the ruler of this world is coming.s He has no power over me,t

31 but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may knowt that I love the Father.t Get up, let us go from here.”s
