John 14:1-20

1“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

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

3If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.

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

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

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

7If you know me, you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

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

9Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who lives in me does his works.

11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.

12“Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.

13Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

15“If you love me, you will keep my commands.

16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.

17He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him. But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be in you.

18“I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.

20On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you.
