John 14:1-14

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.
11 Believe me that 20I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else 21believe on account of the works themselves.
12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, 22whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I 23am going to the Father.
13 24Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that 25the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 26If you ask me[e] anything in my name, I will do it.
