John 14, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
2In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4You know where I go, and you know the way.”
4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.”
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
8Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father?’
9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
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 my Father.
13Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15If you love me, keep my commandments.

17the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

18I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

20In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

21One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
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 to him.
22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.
23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25I have said these things to you while still living with you.
25These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have 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 afraid.
28You heard how I told you, ‘I go away, and I come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.
28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
