John 14:1-14 - Jesus' Farewell Discourse

¹ Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. ² In my Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ If I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and I will receive you to myself, for where I am you may also be. ⁴ You know where I go and you know the way.

⁵ Thomas said to him: Lord, we do not know where you go. How do we know the way?

⁶ Jesus proclaimed: I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through me.

⁷ If you had known me, you would have perceived my Father also. From now on you understand him and have experienced him.

⁸ Philip said: Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.

⁹ Jesus responded: Have I been with you so long a time and you do not know me Philip? He who has seen me has discerned (experienced) (perceived) the Father. And you say, show us the Father? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am with the Father and that the Father is with me? The words I say to you are not from me, but the Father dwells with me and does his works. ¹¹ Believe me that I am with the Father and the Father is with me, or else believe me because of the works.

¹² Truly I tell you, he who exerts active faith in me will do the works that I do. In fact he will do greater works than these. I go to the Father. ¹³ Whatever you ask in my name, I will do. That way the Father may be glorified because of the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
