John 14:2

Jesus' Farewell Discourse

¹ "Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in God; believe also in me. ² There are many dwelling places in my Father's house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you. ³ And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too.

I Go Away

My Father

Prepare a Place
