John 14:1-14 - Jesus' Farewell Discourse

1 "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. 2 There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there weren't, I wouldn't have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you, would I? 3 And since I'm going away to prepare a place for you, I'll come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am. 4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."

5 Thomas asked him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7 If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him and have seen him."

8 Philip told him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us."

9 "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'? 10 You believe, don't you, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I don't speak on my own. It is the Father who dwells in me and who carries out his work. 11 Believe me, I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me because of what I've been doing.

12 Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me will also do what I'm doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I'm going to the Father. 13 I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it."
