- Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, it will be enough for us.”
- Amen, amen, I say to you,
the one who believes in me
will also do the works that I do,
and indeed will do even greater ones than these,
because I am going to the Father. - Whatever you ask in my name I will do,
so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. - If you love me,
you will keep my commandments. - And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate
to be with you forever. - I will not leave you orphans;
I will come to you. - Anyone who has received my commandments
and observes them
is the one who loves me.
And whoever loves me
will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him
and reveal myself to him. - Jesus answered him,
“Whoever loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him
and make our abode with him.” - However, the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything
and remind you of all
that I have said to you. - Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives
do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled;
be not afraid. - I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinegrower.
He removes every branch
that does not bear fruit,
and every branch that does
he prunes to make it bear even more. - You have already been cleansed
by the word I have spoken to you. - I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever abides in me, and I in him,
will bear much fruit.
Apart from me you can do nothing. - If you abide in me
and my words abide in you,
you may ask for whatever you wish,
and it will be done for you. - By this is my Father glorified,
that you bear much fruit
and become my disciples. - If you keep my commandments,
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love. - I have told you these things
so that my joy may be in you
and your joy may be complete. - This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. - No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends. - You did not choose me.
Rather, I chose you.
And I appointed you
to go out and bear fruit,
fruit that will remain,
so that the Father may give you
whatever you ask him in my name. - If the world hates you,
be aware that it hated me
before it hated you. - When the Advocate comes
whom I will send you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father,
he will testify on my behalf. - Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth:
it is better for you that I depart.
For if I do not go away,
the Advocate will not come to you,
whereas if I go,
I will send him to you. - And when he comes,
he will prove the world wrong
about sin and righteousness and judgment. - Until now, in my name,
you have not asked for anything.
Ask and you will receive,
so that your joy may be complete.
I came from the Father
and have come into the world.
Now I am leaving the world
and returning to the Father.Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Rather, always aim to achieve what is best for each other and for everyone. Gaze upon the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap or store in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of far greater value than they?Next verse!With image
