John 14:4

4 And where I am going, you all know the way."

John 14:4 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:4

And whither I go ye know
They might have known, at least, whither he was going, since he had spoke of his Father's house, and of his going to prepare a place for them there, and doubtless had some knowledge thereof, though very confused and imperfect:

and the way ye know:
this also they might have known from some expressions of his, that the way to his Father's house lay through sufferings and death, in which way they also were to follow him to his kingdom and glory. Though these words may be with an interrogation, "and whither I go do ye know? and the way do ye know?" which best agrees with Thomas's answer, and removes all appearance of contradiction between Christ's words and his.

John 14:4 In-Context

2 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you.
3 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.
4 And where I am going, you all know the way."
5 "Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"
6 "I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
