John 14:1-14 - Jesus' Farewell Discourse

¹ "Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also. ² In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you. ³ And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be. ⁴ And where I am going, you all know the way."

⁵ "Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"

⁶ "I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

⁷ If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."

⁸ "Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."

⁹ "Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can *you* ask me, 'Cause us to see the Father'? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work. ¹¹ Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.

¹² In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me--the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father. ¹³ And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
