John 14:1-11

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God. Trust in me also.

2 "There are many rooms in my Father's house. If this were not true, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

3 If I go and do that, I will come back. And I will take you to be with me. Then you will also be where I am.

4 "You know the way to the place where I am going."

Jesus Is the Way to the Father

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

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

7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him. And you have seen him."

8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father. That will be enough for us."

9 Jesus answered, "Don't you know me, Philip? I have been among you such a long time! Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

10 "Don't you believe that I am in the Father? Don't you believe that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. The Father lives in me. He is the One who is doing his work.

11 Believe me when I say I am in the Father. Also believe that the Father is in me. Or at least believe what the miracles show about me.
