John 14 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Darby Translation
John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4And whither I go, ye know the way.
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12Verily, 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 the Father.
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.
15If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,
17even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.
18I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
19Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21He 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 unto him.
22Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25These things have I spoken unto you, while yet abiding with you.
26But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.
27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
28Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.
30I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me;
31but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe onGod, believe also on me.
2In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;
3and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be.
4And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.
5Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?
6Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.
7If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him.
8Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us.
9Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
10Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works.
11Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves.
12Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father.
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,
17the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you.
18I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you.
19Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live.
20In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
22Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world?
23Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him.
24He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has sent me.
25These things I have said to you, abiding with you;
26but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you.
27I leave peace with you; I give my peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it fear.
28Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for [my] Father is greater than I.
29And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it shall have come to pass ye may believe.
30I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world comes, and in me he has nothing;
31but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go hence.
