1 "Do not be worried and
upset," Jesus told them. "Believe in God
and believe also in me.
2 There are
many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I
would not tell you this if it were not so.
3 And after I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I
am.
4 You know the way that leads to
the place where I am going."
5 Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; so how can we know the
way to get there?
6 Jesus
answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to
the Father except by me.
7 Now that you
have known me, he said to them, you will know my
Father also, and from now on you do know him and you have seen him."
8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father; that is all we need."
9 Jesus answered, "For
a long time I have been with you all; yet you do not know me, Philip? Whoever
has seen me has seen the Father. Why, then, do you say, 'Show us the
Father'?
10 Do you not believe, Philip,
that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have spoken to
you," Jesus said to his disciples, "do not come from me.
The Father, who remains in me, does his own work.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the
Father is in me. If not, believe because of the things I do.
12 I am telling you the truth:
those who believe in me will do what I do—yes, they will do even greater things,
because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will
be shown through the Son.
14 If you ask
me for
anything in my name, I will do it."
