John 14

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also. 4And you know the way to where I am going.” 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. 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. 7If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and still you do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own; the Father who remains 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. 12Truly, truly, I tell you: whoever believes in me will also do the works I do—and will do 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 for anything in my name, I will do it.
