Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

John 14
⁸ Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”
⁹ Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?
¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.
¹¹ Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.
¹² “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.
¹³ You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.
¹⁴ Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!
¹⁵ “If you love me, obey my commandments.
¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.
¹⁷ He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
¹⁸ No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
