John 14:1–14

Jesus the Way to the Father

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believev in God; believe also in me.* 2 In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?w 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.* 4 And you know the way to the place where I am going.”x 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.* 7 If you know me, you will knowy my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?* 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.* 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, but if you do not, then believez because of the works themselves.* 12 Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If in my name you ask mea for anything, I will do it.
