John 14:1–12

THE WAY TO THE FATHER

14“Don’t let your heart be troubled.^ah Believe^D in God;^ai believe also in me. ²In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going^aj to prepare a place for you? ³If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again^ak and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.^{al 4}You know the way to where I am going.”^Eam

⁵“Lord,” Thomas^a said, “we don’t know where you’re going. How can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus told him, “I am^b the way,^c the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷If you know me, you will also know^A my Father.^d From now on you do know him^e and have seen him.”

JESUS REVEALS THE FATHER

⁸“Lord,” said Philip,^f “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”

⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father.^g How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?^h The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own.ⁱ The Father who lives in me does his works.^{j 11}Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe^B because of the works themselves.^k

PRAYING IN JESUS’S NAME

¹²“Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me^l will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these,^m because I am going to the Father.ⁿ
