1āDo not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me.
2
My Fatherās house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
4
You know the way to the place where I am going.ā
Jesus the Way to the Father
5 Thomas said to him, āLord, we donāt know where you are going, so how can we know the way?ā
6
Jesus answered, āI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7
If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.ā
8
Philip said, āLord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.ā
9
Jesus answered: āDonāt you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, āShow us the Fatherā?
10
Donāt you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
11
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
