John 14:1–12

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14^d“Let not your hearts be troubled. ^eBelieve in God;¹ believe also in me. ²In ^fmy Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that ^gI go to prepare a place for you?^{2 3}And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you ^hto myself, that ⁱwhere I am you may be also. ⁴And you know the way to where I am going.”^{3 5j}Thomas said to him, “Lord, ^kwe do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” ⁶Jesus said to him, “I am ^lthe way, and ^mthe truth, and ⁿthe life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ^7oIf you had known me, you would have ^pknown my Father also.⁴ From now on you do know him and ^qhave seen him.”

^8rPhilip said to him, “Lord, ^sshow us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^tWhoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Do you not believe that ^uI am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^vI do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹Believe me that ^uI am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^wbelieve on account of the works themselves.

¹²“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^xwhoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I ^yam going to the Father.
