John 14:1-14

The way, the truth, and the life

1 " Don't be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in me.

2 My Father's house has room to spare. If that weren't the case, would I have told you that I'm going to prepare a place for you?

3 When I go to prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me so that where I am you will be too.

4 You know the way to the place I'm going."

5 Thomas asked, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

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

7 If you have really known me, you will also know the Father. From now on you know him and have seen him."

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

9 Jesus replied, “Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been with you all this time? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'?

10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I have spoken to you I don't speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me does his works.

11 Trust me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

12 I assure you that whoever believes in me will do the works that I do. They will do even greater works than these because I am going to the Father.

13 I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father can be glorified in the Son.

14 When you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
