John 14:1-4

Jesus’ Farewell Discourse

1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because I am going away to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also.

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