John 14:1-9

1 "Don't be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in me.

2 My Father's house has many rooms. If that were not true, would I have told you that I'm going to prepare a place for you?

3 If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again. Then I will bring you into my presence so that you will be where I am.

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

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

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

7 If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him [through me] and have seen him [in me]."

8 Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us."

9 Jesus replied, "I have been with all of you for a long time. Don't you know me yet, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
