²“There are many rooms in my Father’s house. If this were not true, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. ³If I go and do that, I will come back. And I will take you to be with me. Then you will also be where I am.

⁴“You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus Is the Way to the Father

⁵Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. So how can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷If you really knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him. And you have seen him.”

⁸Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father. That will be enough for us.”

⁹Jesus answered, “Don’t you know me, Philip? I have been among you such a long time! Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

¹⁰“Don’t you believe that I am in the Father? Don’t you believe that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. The Father lives in me. He is the One who is doing his work. ¹¹Believe me when I say I am in the Father. Also believe that the Father is in me. Or at least believe what the miracles show about me.

¹²“What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. In fact, he will do even greater things. That is because I am going to the Father.

Read in Logos

John 14:2: In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
