   and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment,   
   and buy one.   
   [37] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished   
   in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things   
   concerning me have an end.   
   [38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto   
   them, It is enough.   
      
   John 14   
      
   John 14   
   Jesus the Way to the Father   
      
   1 (Jn 12:44; 16:22-23) "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God.   
   Believe also in Me.   
   2 (Jn 13:33; 13:36) In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were   
   not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.   
   3 (Jn 12:26; 14:28) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again   
   and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also.   
   4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."   
   5 (Jn 11:16) Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going.   
   How can we know the way?"   
   6 (Jn 10:9; 1:14; Ac 4:12) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,   
   and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.   
   7 (Jn 8:19) If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.   
   From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."   
   8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father,   
   and that is sufficient for us."   
   9 (Heb 1:3; Jn 12:45; Col 1:15) Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you   
   such a long time, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen   
   Me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?   
   10 (Jn 5:19; 10:38) Do you not believe that I am in the Father   
   and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak   
   on My own authority. But the Father who lives in Me does the works.   
   11 (Jn 5:36; 10:38) Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father   
   is in Me. Or else believe Me on account of the works themselves.   
   12 (Mt 21:21; Jn 14:28) Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me   
   will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these,   
   because I am going to My Father.   
   13 (Mt 7:7; Jn 13:31) I will do whatever you ask in My name, that the Father   
   may be glorified in the Son.   
   14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.   
      
   [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.   
      
   The Promise of the Spirit   
      
   15 (Eph 6:24) "If you love Me, keep My commandments.   
   16 (Jn 15:26; 14:26; 1Jn 2:1) I will pray the Father, and He will give you   
   another Counselor, that He may be with you forever:   
   17 (Jn 15:26; 16:13; 1Co 2:14) the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot   
   receive, for it does not see Him, neither does it know Him. But you know Him,   
   for He lives with you, and will be in you.   
   18 (Jn 14:3) I will not leave you fatherless. I will come to you.   
   19 (Jn 7:33; 16:16) Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more.   
   But you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.   
   20 (Jn 10:38; 14:10) On that day you will know that I am in My Father,   
   and you are in Me, and I am in you.   
   21 (Jn 14:15; 16:27) He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one   
   who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love   
   him and will reveal Myself to him."   
   22 (Lk 6:16; Ac 1:13) Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it   
   that You will reveal Yourself to us, but not to the world?"   
   23 (Jn 14:15; 14:21) Jesus answered him, "If a man loves Me, he will keep   
   My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our home   
   with him.   
   24 (Jn 7:16; 14:10) He who does not love Me does not keep My words.   
   The word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.   
   25 "I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you.   
   26 (Jn 15:26; 16:7) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father   
   will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that   
   I told you.   
   27 (Jn 16:33; Php 4:7; Col 3:15) Peace I leave with you.   
   My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.   
   Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.   
   28 (Jn 14:12; 14:18) "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away   
   and am returning to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice   
   because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.   
   29 (Jn 13:19) Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens,   
   you may believe.   
   30 (Jn 12:31; 2Co 4:4; Heb 4:15) After this I will not speak much with you,   
   for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over Me.   
   31 (Jn 10:18; 12:49) But I do as the Father has commanded Me   
   so that the world may know that I love the Father.   
   "Rise, let us go from here.   
      
   [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
