The Way, the Truth, and the Life

1 “Let anot your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  
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.  
13 aAnd whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be bglorified in the Son.

John 14:3

If I go (ean poreuqw). Third-class condition (ean and first aorist passive subjunctive of poreuomai).

And prepare (kai etoimasw). Same condition and first aorist active subjunctive of the same verb etoimazw.

I come again (palin erxomai). Futuristic present middle, definite promise of the second coming of Christ.

And will receive you unto myself (kai paralhmyomai umav prov emauton). Future middle of paralambanw. Literally, "And I shall take you along (para-) to my own home" (cf. John 13:36). This blessed promise is fulfilled in death for all believers who die before the Second Coming. Jesus comes for us then also.

That where I am there ye may be also (ina opou eimi egw kai umeiv hte). Purpose clause with ina and present active subjunctive of eimi. This the purpose of the departure and the return of Christ. And this is heaven for the believer to be where Jesus is and with him forever.
