Chapter 14 of John—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ “Do not let YOUR hearts be troubled.1 Exercise faith in God,2 exercise faith also in me.3
  2. In the house of my Father there are many abodes.4 Otherwise, I would have told YOU, because I am going my way to prepare a place5 for YOU.
  3. Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for YOU, I am coming again6 and will receive YOU home to myself,7 that where I am YOU also may be.8
  4. And where I am going YOU know the way.”
  5. ¶ Thomas9 said to him: “Lord,[a] we do not know where you are going.10 How do we know the way?”
  6. ¶ Jesus said to him: “I am the way11 and the truth12 and the life.13 No one comes to the Father except through me.14
  7. If YOU men had known me, YOU would have known my Father also; from this moment on YOU know him and have seen him.”15
  8. ¶ Philip said to him: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
  9. ¶ Jesus said to him: “Have I been with YOU men so long a time, and yet, Philip, you have not come to know me? He that has seen me has seen the Father16 [also]. How is it you say, ‘Show us the Father’?17
  10. Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me?18 The things I say to YOU men I do not speak of my own originality;[b] but the Father who remains in union with me is doing his works.19
  11. Believe me that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me; otherwise, believe on account of the works themselves.20
  12. Most truly I say to YOU, He that exercises faith in me, that one also will do the works that I do; and he will do works greater21 than these, because I am going my way to the Father.22
  13. Also, whatever it is that YOU ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in connection with the Son.23
  14. If YOU ask[c] anything in my name, I will do it.
  15. ¶ “If YOU love me, YOU will observe my commandments;24
  16. and I will request the Father and he will give YOU another helper[d] to be with YOU forever,25
  17. the spirit[e] of the truth,26 which the world cannot receive,27 because it neither beholds it nor knows it. YOU know it,[f] because it remains with YOU and is in YOU.28
  18. I shall not leave YOU bereaved.[g]29 I am coming to YOU.
  19. A little longer and the world will behold me no more,30 but YOU will behold me,31 because I live and YOU will live.32
  20. In that day YOU will know that I am in union with my Father and YOU are in union with me and I am in union with YOU.33
  21. He that has my commandments and observes them, that one is he who loves me.34 In turn he that loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will plainly show myself to him.”
  22. ¶ Judas,35 not Is·carʹi·ot, said to him: “Lord, what has happened that you intend to show yourself plainly to us and not to the world?”36
  23. ¶ In answer Jesus said to him: “If anyone loves me, he will observe37 my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our abode with him.38
  24. He that does not love me does not observe my words; and the word that YOU are hearing is not mine, but belongs to the Father who sent me.39
  25. ¶ “While remaining with YOU I have spoken these things to YOU.
  26. But the helper,[h] the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one[i] will teach YOU all things and bring back to YOUR minds all the things I told YOU.40
  27. I leave YOU peace, I give YOU my peace.41 I do not give it to YOU the way that the world gives it. Do not let YOUR hearts be troubled nor let them shrink for fear.
  28. YOU heard that I said to YOU, I am going away and I am coming [back] to YOU. If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater42 than I am.
  29. So now I have told YOU before it occurs,43 in order that, when it does occur, YOU may believe.
  30. I shall not speak much[j] with YOU anymore, for the ruler44 of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me,45
  31. but, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, even as the Father has given me commandment46 [to do], so I am doing. Get up, let us go from here.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
