¹ And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.

² And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

³ And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:

⁴ I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.

⁵ Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.

⁶ And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:

⁷ His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.

⁸ And these are the names of the children of Israel who came into Egypt, even Jacob and all his sons: Reuben, Jacob's oldest son;

⁹ And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi;

¹⁰ And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan;

¹¹ And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari;

¹² And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah: but Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

¹³ And the sons of Issachar: Tola and Puah and Job and Shimron;

¹⁴ And the sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel;

¹⁵ All these, together with his daughter Dinah, were the children of Leah, whom Jacob had by her in Paddan-aram; they were thirty-three in number.

¹⁶ And the sons of Gad: Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, Eri and Arodi and Areli;

¹⁷ And the sons of Asher: Jimnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah, and Sarah, their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

¹⁸ These are the children of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah, and Jacob had these sixteen children by her.

¹⁹ The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁰ And Joseph had Manasseh and Ephraim in the land of Egypt, by Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On.

²¹ And the sons of Benjamin were Belah and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard.

²² All these were the children of Rachel whom Jacob had by her, fourteen persons.

²³ And the son of Dan was Hushim.

²⁴ And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and Shillem.

²⁵ These were the children of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, seven persons.

²⁶ All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.

²⁷ And the sons of Joseph whom he had in Egypt were two. Seventy persons of the family of Jacob came into Egypt.

²⁸ Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.

²⁹ And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.

³⁰ And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.

³¹ And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;

³² And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.

³³ Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?

³⁴ You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.

¹ "Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.

² In 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.

³ If 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.

⁴ Where I go, you know, and you know the way."

⁵ Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

⁷ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him."

⁸ Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

⁹ Jesus 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?'

¹⁰ Don'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.

¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else Believe me for the very works' sake.

¹² Most 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.

¹³ Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴ If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶ I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,--

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

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

²¹ One 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."

²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"

²³ Jesus 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.

²⁴ He 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.

²⁵ I have said these things to you, while still living with you.

²⁶ But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you. My Peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

²⁸ You 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.

²⁹ Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.

³⁰ I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
