John 14:4 in other versions
Context of John 14:4
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. You 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.
