1. In My Father’s House Are Many Rooms

2. 1ENGT4TJesus continued by saying to us, “Stop being anxious/worried. Keep on trusting in God (OR, You are trusting in God); also keep trusting in me.BSBBSB: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.
3. 2ENGT4TWhere my Father is in heaven there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go there to prepare a place for you.BSBBSB: In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
4. 3ENGT4TAnd because I will go there and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you there to be with me. I will do that so that you may also be where I am.BSBBSB: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
5. 4ENGT4TYou know the road to the place where I am going.”BSBBSB: You know the way to the place where I am going.”

6. The Way, the Truth, and the Life

7. 5ENGT4TThomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. So how can we know the road?”BSBBSB: “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
8. 6ENGT4TJesus said to him, “I am the road MET to where my Father is. I am the one who reveals MET the truth about God and the one who gives eternal life to people. I am the only one who can enable people to come to my Father. There is no other way.BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
9. 7ENGT4TIf you really knew who I was, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and it is as though you have seen him.”BSBBSB: If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
10. 8ENGT4TPhilip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”BSBBSB: Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
11. 9ENGT4TJesus said to him, “Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So ◄surely you should know who I really am!/why have you not come to know who I really am?► RHQ Those who have seen me, it is as though they have seen my Father. So ◄why do you say ‘Show us your Father’?/you should not say ‘Show us your Father’!► RHQBSBBSB: Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
12. 10ENGT4TDo you not RHQ believe that I have a close relationship with my Father, and that my Father has a close relationship with me? The messages that I tell you do not come from me. They come from my Father, who has a close relationship with me. He is enabling me to teach these things, and to perform the miracles that he wants me to perform.BSBBSB: Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.
13. 11ENGT4TBelieve that I have a close relationship with my Father and that my Father has a close relationship with me. If you do not believe that just because of what I say, believe it because of the miracles themselves that I have done.BSBBSB: Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.
14. 12ENGT4TListen to this carefully: You who trust in me will do the kinds of miracles that I have done. Because of what I will do for you (OR, Because I will send God’s Spirit to you) after I go to my Father, you will be able to do miracles that will be greater than the ones I have done.BSBBSB: Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
15. 13ENGT4TAnd whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show you how great my Father is.BSBBSB: And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
16. 14ENGT4TAnything that you ask my Father to do, anything that you ask with my authority MTY, I will do.”BSBBSB: If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

17. Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

    (John 16:5–16)

18. 15ENGT4T“If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.BSBBSB: If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
19. 16ENGT4TThen I myself will request my Father, and he will send you someone else who will ◄encourage/be like a legal counsel for► you.BSBBSB: And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—
20. 17ENGT4TI am talking about the Spirit, who will teach you God’s truth. He will be with you forever. Those who are opposed to God MTY cannot receive him, because they cannot understand what he does, and they cannot know who he is. But you know who he is, because he is with you and he will be inside you.BSBBSB: the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.
21. 18ENGT4TWhen I leave you, I will not let you be alone/helpless MET. When I send the Spirit, it will be like I am coming back to you (OR, When I rise from the dead, I will come back to you.)BSBBSB: I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
22. 19ENGT4TSoon those who do not belong to God MTY will not see me any more. But when the Spirit comes to you, it will be as though you will be seeing me again (OR, But after I become alive again, you will see me again.) Because I will be alive again, you also will have eternal life.BSBBSB: In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.
23. 20ENGT4TAt that time you will know that I have a close relationship with my Father, and you will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with you.BSBBSB: On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
24. 21ENGT4TThose who have accepted my commands and obey them are the people who love me. My Father will love those who love me. I also will love them, and I will fully reveal to them what I am like.”BSBBSB: Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”
25. 22ENGT4TThen Judas spoke to him. He was not Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth Town), but instead a disciple whose other name was Thaddeus. He said, “Lord, what has happened so that you can fully reveal to us what you are like, and not reveal that to those who do not belong to God MTY?”BSBBSB: Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
26. 23ENGT4TJesus replied to him, “Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will also love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will be able to come to and ◄live with/have a personal relationship with►.BSBBSB: Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
27. 24ENGT4TBut those who do not love me will not obey what I have told them. So I cannot reveal to them what I am really like. These words that I am telling you have not come just from me. They came from my Father, the one who sent me.BSBBSB: Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.
28. 25ENGT4TI have told you all these things while I am still with you.BSBBSB: All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
29. 26ENGT4TBut my Father will send the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will ◄encourage/be like a legal counsel for► you. He will come with my authority MTY. He will teach you all of God’s truth that you need to know. He will also cause you to remember all the things that I have told you.BSBBSB: But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

30. Peace I Leave with You

31. 27ENGT4TAs I leave you, I am causing you to have inner peace. This inner peace comes from me. I am not causing you to have something that those who do not belong to God MTY can give you. So stop being anxious/worried, and do not be afraid.BSBBSB: Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
32. 28ENGT4TYou heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, but later I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going back to my Father, because my Father is greater than I am, and there he will honor me and will send the Spirit to you.BSBBSB: You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
33. 29ENGT4TI have told you these things now before they happen, so that when they happen you will believe that what I said is true.BSBBSB: And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
34. 30ENGT4TI will not be able to talk to you much longer, because what happens to me will be as though Satan, the ruler of this world, is coming to attack me. But he has no control over what happens to me.BSBBSB: I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.
35. 31ENGT4TInstead, the people who do not belong to God MTY must learn from what happens to me that I love my Father, and I am doing the things that he has commanded me to do. Now, let’s get up and leave here.”BSBBSB: But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
