14:15 「你們若愛我,就必遵守我的命令。
14:16 我要求父,父就另外賜給你們一位保惠師(或譯:訓慰師;下同),叫他永遠與你們同在,
14:17 就是真理的聖靈,乃世人不能接受的;因為不見他,也不認識他。你們卻認識他,因他常與你們同在,也要在你們裡面。
14:18 我不撇下你們為孤兒,我必到你們這裡來。
14:19 還有不多的時候,世人不再看見我,你們卻看見我;因為我活著,你們也要活著。
14:20 到那日,你們就知道我在父裡面,你們在我裡面,我也在你們裡面。
14:21 有了我的命令又遵守的,這人就是愛我的;愛我的必蒙我父愛他,我也要愛他,並且要向他顯現。」
14:22 猶大(不是加略人猶大)問耶穌說:「主啊,為甚麼要向我們顯現,不向世人顯現呢?」
14:23 耶穌回答說:「人若愛我,就必遵守我的道;我父也必愛他,並且我們要到他那裡去,與他同住。
14:24 不愛我的人就不遵守我的道。你們所聽見的道不是我的,乃是差我來之父的道。
14:25 「我還與你們同住的時候,已將這些話對你們說了。
14:26 但保惠師,就是父因我的名所要差來的聖靈,他要將一切的事指教你們,並且要叫你們想起我對你們所說的一切話。
14:27 我留下平安給你們;我將我的平安賜給你們。我所賜的,不像世人所賜的。你們心裡不要憂愁,也不要膽怯。
14:28 你們聽見我對你們說了,我去還要到你們這裡來。你們若愛我,因我到父那裡去,就必喜樂,因為父是比我大的。
14:29 現在事情還沒有成就,我預先告訴你們,叫你們到事情成就的時候就可以信。
14:30 以後我不再和你們多說話,因為這世界的王將到。他在我裡面是毫無所有;
14:31 但要叫世人知道我愛父,並且父怎樣吩咐我,我就怎樣行。起來,我們走吧!」
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 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 said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. 30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
“Come now; let us leave.
