The Way, the Truth, and the Life
2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so,2 I would have told you. aI go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, aI will come again and receive you to Myself; that bwhere I am, there you may be also.
4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 aThomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am athe way, bthe truth, and cthe life. dNo one comes to the Father eexcept through Me.
The Father Revealed
7 a“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? aHe who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you bI do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, aor else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
The Answered Prayer
12 a“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
Jesus Promises Another Helper
16 And I will pray the Father, and aHe will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
17 athe Spirit of truth, bwhom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you cand will be in you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ayou will see Me. bBecause I live, you will live also.
21 aHe who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and1 manifest Myself to him.”
22 aJudas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, aand We will come to him and make Our home with him.
24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and athe word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
The Gift of His Peace
25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
26 But athe Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will bsend in My name, cHe will teach you all things, and bring to your dremembrance all things that I said to you.
27 aPeace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard Me asay to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because1 I said, b‘I am going to the Father,’ for cMy Father is greater than I.
30 I will no longer talk much with you, afor the ruler of this world is coming, and he has bnothing in Me.
