John 14:1–12

The Way to the Father

14“Your heart must not be troubled. ^pBelieve ^qin God; ^rbelieve also in Me. ²In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; ^sif not, I would have told you. I am going away ^tto prepare a place for you. ³If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back ^uand receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also. ^v4You know the way to where I am going.” ^wx

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

⁶Jesus told him, “I am ^zthe way, ^athe truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Jesus Reveals the Father

⁷“If you know Me, you will also know ^bMy Father. ^cFrom now on you do know Him ^dand have seen Him.”

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

⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time without your knowing Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father. ^fHow can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? ^gThe words I speak to you I do not speak on My own. ^hThe Father who lives in Me does His works. ⁱ¹¹Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, believe ^jbecause of the works themselves. ^k

Praying in Jesus’ Name

¹²“^•I assure you: The one who believes in Me ^lwill also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, ^mbecause I am going to the Father. ⁿ
