John 14:4 in other versions
Context of John 14:4
2My Father’s house has many rooms. If that were not true, would I have told you that I’m going to prepare a place for you? 3If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again. Then I will bring you into my presence so that you will be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you’re going. So how can we know the way?” 6Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.
