John 14:1-10

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

1 ¹“Let not your hearts be troubled. ²Believe in God; ^[a] believe also in me.

2 In ³my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that ⁴I go to prepare a place for you? ^[b]

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you ⁵to myself, that ⁶where I am you may be also.

4 And you know the way to where I am going. ” ^[c]

5 ⁷Thomas said to him, “Lord, ⁸we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way? ”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am ⁹the way, and ¹⁰the truth, and ¹¹the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7 ¹²If you had known me, you would have ¹³known my Father also. ^[d] From now on you do know him and ¹⁴have seen him. ”

8 ¹⁵Philip said to him, “Lord, ¹⁶show us the Father, and it is enough for us. ”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ¹⁷Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 Do you not believe that ¹⁸I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ¹⁹I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
