Do not let your heart be troubled; believe into God, believe also into  ¹Me.

In  ¹My Father's house are  ²many abodes; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I  ³go to prepare a place for you.

And  ¹if I go and  ²prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will  ³receive you to Myself, so that  ⁴where I am you also may be.

And where I am going you know the way.

Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going; how can we know the way?

Jesus said to him, I am the  ¹way and the  ²reality and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

 ¹If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and henceforth you know Him and have seen Him.

Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father and it is sufficient for us.

Jesus said to him, Have I been so long a time with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how is it that you say, Show us the Father?

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The  ¹words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am  ¹going to the Father.

And whatever you ask  ¹in My name, that I will do, that the  ²Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another  ¹Comforter, that He may be with you forever,

Even the  ¹Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him; but you know Him, because  ²He abides with you and shall be  ³in you.

 ¹I will not leave you as orphans; I am  ²coming to you.

Yet a little while and the world beholds Me no longer, but you behold Me; because I  ¹live, you also shall live.

In that  ¹day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.

Judas, not Iscariot, said to Him, Lord, and what has happened that You are to manifest Yourself to us and not to the world?

Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an  ¹abode with him.

He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you;

But the  ¹Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the  ²Father will send in  ³My name, He will teach you all things and remind you of all the things which I have said to you.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

You have heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am  ¹coming to you. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I am  ²going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and in Me he has nothing;

But this is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded Me, so I do. Rise, let us go from here.

And in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, the king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, the king of Judah, began to reign.

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.

And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.

He removed the high places and broke down the pillars and cut down the Asherah and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the children of Israel had burned incense to it; and he called it  ¹Nehushtan.

He trusted in Jehovah the God of Israel, so that after him there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any among those who were before him.

And he clung to Jehovah; he did not turn away from following after Him but kept His commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses.

And Jehovah was with him; everywhere he went, he prospered. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and would not serve him.

He struck the Philistines as far as Gaza and its borders, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city.

And in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, the king of Israel, Shalmaneser the king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

And at the end of three years they took it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

And the king of Assyria carried Israel away captive to Assyria and settled them in Halah and by the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes;

For they would not listen to the voice of Jehovah their God but transgressed His covenant, that is, all that Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded; and they would not listen to it nor do it.

 ¹And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib the king of Assyria went up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.

And Hezekiah the king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, I have sinned; withdraw from me. I will bear whatever you impose upon me. And the king of Assyria imposed upon Hezekiah the king of Judah a levy of three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah and in the treasuries of the king's house.

At that time Hezekiah stripped the doors of the temple of Jehovah and the posts that Hezekiah the king of Judah had overlaid, and he gave them to the king of Assyria.

And the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rab-saris and the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a great force. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they came up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the road to the Fuller's Field.

And they called out to the king. And Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.

And the Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What is this confidence in which you trust?

You say (but it is a vain word), There is counsel and strength for war. Now in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

You now have put your trust in the staff of this broken reed, in Egypt, in that which, if a man should lean on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it; so is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to all who trust in him.

And if you say to me, We trust in Jehovah our God; is it not He whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away and has said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall worship only before this altar in Jerusalem?

Now therefore give pledges to my master, the king of Assyria; and I will give you two thousand horses, if indeed you are able to set the riders on them.

How then can you refuse one official of the least of my master's servants and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?

Have I now come up apart from Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.

And Eliakim the son of Hilkiah and Shebnah and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Please speak to your servants in  ¹Aramaic, because we understand it; and do not speak with us in the  ²Jews' language in the hearing of the people who are upon the wall.

But the Rab-shakeh said to them, Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?

And the Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language and spoke and said, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

Thus says the king, Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, because he is not able to deliver you out of  ¹my hand.

Neither let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria, Make  ¹your peace with me, and come out to me; and let each eat from his own vine and each from his own fig tree, and let each drink the waters of his own cistern,

Until I come and take you away to a land like your land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey, that you may live and not die. So do not listen to Hezekiah when he tries to persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.

Have any of the gods of the nations delivered at all their land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? And have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

But the people were silent and did not answer him a word, because of the commandment of the king that said, You shall not answer him.

Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and told him the words of the Rab-shakeh.

And when King Hezekiah heard, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of Jehovah.

And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, who had covered themselves with sackcloth, to  ¹Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of affliction and rebuke and contempt, for children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth.

It may be that Jehovah your God will hear all the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant which is left.

So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says Jehovah, Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

Indeed, I will put a spirit in him, so that he will hear a report and return to his land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

And the Rab-shakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, because he had heard that the king had departed from Lachish.

And he heard a report about Tirhakah the king of Ethiopia, which said, He has now come forth to make war with you. And he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,

Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah the king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

Indeed, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, destroying them utterly. And will you be delivered?

Have the gods of the nations whom my fathers have destroyed delivered them: Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the children of Eden, who were in Telassar?

Where are the king of Hamath and the king of Arpad and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena and Ivvah?

And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and Hezekiah went up to the house of Jehovah and spread it before Jehovah.

And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah and said, O Jehovah, God of Israel, You who are enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; You made the heavens and the earth.

Incline Your ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open Your eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, who has sent him to reproach the living God.

Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,

And have cast their gods into the fire, because they were not gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; so they destroyed them.

And now, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O Jehovah, are God.

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Because you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.

This is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him:
The virgin daughter of Zion
Has despised you and laughed at you;
The daughter of Jerusalem
Has shaken her head behind you.

Whom have you reproached and reviled?
Against whom have you lifted up your voice
And lifted up your eyes haughtily?
Against the Holy One of Israel.

By your messengers you have reproached the Lord,
And you have said, In the multitude of my chariots
I have come up to the height of the mountains,
To the sides of Lebanon;
And I have cut down its tall cedars,
And the choicest of its cypresses;
And I have entered into its farthest lodging place,
And its luxuriant forest.

I have dug
And have drunk foreign waters,
And with the sole of my feet I have dried up
All the rivers of  ¹Egypt.

Have you not heard
That long ago I did it
And that from the days of old I had formed it?
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should destroy fortified cities
And make them into ruinous heaps.

Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength;
They were dismayed and felt ashamed;
They were like vegetation of the field
And green shoots of tender grass,
Like grass which grows on the housetops
And is scorched before it has grown up.

But I know your sitting down,
And your going out and your coming in,
And your raging against Me.

Because your raging against Me
And your arrogance have come up into My ears,
I will put My hook in your nose,
And My bridle in your lips;
And I will turn you back on the way by which you came.

And this shall be the sign to you: This year you shall eat that which grows up of itself, and in the second year that which shoots up from the same, and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

And the remnant of those who have escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.

For a remnant will go forth out of Jerusalem, and from Mount Zion those who have escaped. The zeal of Jehovah  ¹of hosts will perform this.

Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria,
He shall not come to this city,
Nor shoot an arrow there;
Neither shall he come against it with a shield
And build up a mound against it.

By the way on which he came,
By the same shall he return,
And into this city he shall not come,
Declares Jehovah.

And around this city I will put an enclosure,
To save it,
For My own sake,
And for the sake of David, My servant.

And that night an angel of Jehovah went out and struck the Assyrians' camp, a hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when they rose up early in the morning, all of them were corpses, dead.

Then Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed and went back to dwell in Nineveh.

And as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer  ¹his sons struck him down with the sword; and they escaped to the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
