Jesus Comforts His Disciples

1 “aDo not let your heart be troubled; 1believe in God, believe also in Me.

2 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for aI go to prepare a place for you.

3 “If I go and prepare a place for you, aI will come again and receive you to Myself, that bwhere I am, there you may be also.

4 “And you know the way where I am going.”

5 aThomas * said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”

6 Jesus * said to him, “I am athe way, and bthe truth, and cthe life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Oneness with the Father

7 “aIf you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you bknow Him, and have cseen Him.”

8 aPhilip * said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

9 Jesus * said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? aHe who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 “Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? bThe words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

11 “Believe Me that aI am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise bbelieve because of the works themselves.
