Context of John 14:4
2In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.

And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
