Context of John 14:3
1Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me. 2In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place; and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be. 4And ye know where I go, and ye know the way. 5Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?
