## John 14 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. “Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
2. In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.
3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
4. And you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
5. Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6. Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
7. If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
8. Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
9. Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
10. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
11. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
12. Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
13. And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14. If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.
15. If you love me, keep my commandments.
16. And I will ask the Father, and he will give another Advocate to you, so that he may abide with you for eternity:
17. the Spirit of Truth, whom the world is not able to accept, because it neither perceives him nor knows him. But you shall know him. For he will remain with you, and he will be in you.
18. I will not leave you orphans. I will return to you.
19. Yet a little while and the world will not see me any longer. But you will see me. For I live, and you shall live.
20. In that day, you shall know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
21. Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them: it is he who loves me. And whoever loves me shall be loved by my Father. And I will love him, and I will manifest myself to him.”
22. Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him: “Lord, how does it happen that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?”
23. Jesus responded and said to him: “If anyone loves me, he shall keep my word. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our dwelling place with him.
24. Whoever does not love me, does not keep not my words. And the word that you have heard is not of me, but it is of the Father who sent me.
25. These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you.
26. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.
27. Peace I leave for you; my Peace I give to you. Not in the way that the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and let it not fear.
28. You have heard that I said to you: I am going away, and I am returning to you. If you loved me, certainly you would be gladdened, because I am going to the Father. For the Father is greater than I.
29. And now I have told you this, before it happens, so that, when it will happen, you may believe.
30. I will not now speak at length with you. For the prince of this world is coming, but he does not have anything in me.
31. Yet this is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I am acting according to the commandment that the Father has given to me. Rise up, let us go from here.”

## John 14 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Non turbetur cor vestrum. Creditis in Deum, et in me credite.
2. In domo Patris mei mansiones multæ sunt; si quominus dixissem vobis: quia vado parare vobis locum.
3. Et si abiero, et præparavero vobis locum, iterum venio, et accipiam vos ad meipsum: ut ubi sum ego, et vos sitis.
4. Et quo ego vado scitis, et viam scitis.
5. Dicit ei Thomas: Domine, nescimus quo vadis: et quomodo possumus viam scire?
6. Dicit ei Jesus: Ego sum via, et veritas, et vita. Nemo venit ad Patrem, nisi per me.
7. Si cognovissetis me, et Patrem meum utique cognovissetis: et amodo cognoscetis eum, et vidistis eum.
8. Dicit ei Philippus: Domine, ostende nobis Patrem, et sufficit nobis.
9. Dicit ei Jesus: Tanto tempore vobiscum sum, et non cognovistis me? Philippe, qui videt me, videt et Patrem. Quomodo tu dicis: Ostende nobis Patrem?
10. Non creditis quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? Verba quæ ego loquor vobis, a meipso non loquor. Pater autem in me manens, ipse fecit opera.
11. Non creditis quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est?
12. alioquin propter opera ipsa credite. Amen, amen dico vobis, qui credit in me, opera quæ ego facio, et ipse faciet, et majora horum faciet: quia ego ad Patrem vado.
13. Et quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, hoc faciam: ut glorificetur Pater in Filio.
14. Si quid petieritis me in nomine meo, hoc faciam.
15. Si diligitis me, mandata mea servate:
16. et ego rogabo Patrem, et alium Paraclitum dabit vobis, ut maneat vobiscum in æternum,
17. Spiritum veritatis, quem mundus non potest accipere, quia non videt eum, nec scit eum: vos autem cognoscetis eum, quia apud vos manebit, et in vobis erit.
18. Non relinquam vos orphanos: veniam ad vos.
19. Adhuc modicum, et mundus me jam non videt. Vos autem videtis me: quia ego vivo, et vos vivetis.
20. In illo die vos cognoscetis quia ego sum in Patre meo, et vos in me, et ego in vobis.
21. Qui habet mandata mea, et servat ea: ille est qui diligit me. Qui autem diligit me, diligetur a Patre meo: et ego diligam eum, et manifestabo ei meipsum.
22. Dicit ei Judas, non ille Iscariotes: Domine, quid factum est, quia manifestaturus es nobis teipsum, et non mundo?
23. Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Si quis diligit me, sermonem meum servabit, et Pater meus diliget eum, et ad eum veniemus, et mansionem apud eum faciemus;
24. qui non diligit me, sermones meos non servat. Et sermonem, quem audistis, non est meus: sed ejus qui misit me, Patris.
25. Hæc locutus sum vobis apud vos manens.
26. Paraclitus autem Spiritus Sanctus, quem mittet Pater in nomine meo, ille vos docebit omnia, et suggeret vobis omnia quæcumque dixero vobis.
27. Pacem relinquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis: non quomodo mundus dat, ego do vobis. Non turbetur cor vestrum, neque formidet.
28. Audistis quia ego dixi vobis: Vado, et venio ad vos. Si diligeretis me, gauderetis utique, quia vado ad Patrem: quia Pater major me est.
29. Et nunc dixi vobis priusquam fiat: ut cum factum fuerit, credatis.
30. Jam non multa loquar vobiscum: venit enim princeps mundi hujus, et in me non habet quidquam.
31. Sed ut cognoscat mundus quia diligo Patrem, et sicut mandatum dedit mihi Pater, sic facio. Surgite, eamus hinc.

## The saints

- “What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do; truth Himself speaks truly, or there's nothing true.” — St. Thomas Aquinas, Adoro Te Devote, c. 1264 (On this theme: verse 6)
- “All the way to heaven is heaven, because He said, I am the Way.” — St. Catherine of Siena, popular saying, source unconfirmed (Attributed: verse 6)

## Bishop Challoner's notes

Bp. Richard Challoner, notes on the Douay-Rheims (1750); they comment on its older wording.
- Verse 16: That is, a comforter: or also an advocate; inasmuch as by inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us.
- Verse 16: Hence it is evident that this Spirit of Truth was not only promised to the persons of the apostles, but also to their successors through all generations.
- Verse 26: “Teach you all things” … Here the Holy Ghost is promised to the apostles and their successors, particularly, in order to teach them all truth, and to preserve them from error.
- Verse 28: “For the Father is greater than I” … It is evident, that Christ our Lord speaks here of himself as he is made man: for as God he is equal to the Father. (See Phil. 2.) Any difficulty of understanding the meaning of these words will vanish, when the relative circumstances of the text here are considered: for Christ being at this time shortly to suffer death, signified to his apostles his human nature by these very words: for as God he could not die. And therefore as he was both God and man, it must follow that according to his humanity he was to die, which the apostles were soon to see and believe, as he expresses, ver. 29. And now I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe.
