John 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:3

And if I go and prepare a place for you
Seeing I am going to prepare, and will prepare a place for you, of the truth of which you may be fully assured:

I will come again;
either by death or in person a second time, here on earth:

and receive you unto myself;
I will take you up with me to heaven; I will receive you into glory;

that where I am there you may be also:
and behold my glory, and be for ever with me, and never part more.

John 14:3 In-Context

1 "Don't let this throw you. You trust God, don't you? Trust me.
2 There is plenty of room for you in my Father's home. If that weren't so, would I have told you that I'm on my way to get a room ready for you?
3 And if I'm on my way to get your room ready, I'll come back and get you so you can live where I live.
4 And you already know the road I'm taking."
5 Thomas said, "Master, we have no idea where you're going. How do you expect us to know the road?"
