John 14:1-11

1 "Don't let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in me.

2 In my Father's house are many places to live. If there weren't, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you.

3 Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also.

4 Furthermore, you know where I'm going; and you know the way there."

5 T'oma said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you're going; so how can we know the way?"

6 Yeshua said, "I AM the Way -- and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.

7 Because you have known me, you will also know my Father; from now on, you do know him -- in fact, you have seen him."

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

9 Yeshua replied to him, "Have I been with you so long without your knowing me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, `Show us the Father'?

10 Don't you believe that I am united with the Father, and the Father united with me? What I am telling you, I am not saying on my own initiative; the Father living in me is doing his own works.

11 Trust me, that I am united with the Father, and the Father united with me. But if you can't, then trust because of the works themselves.
