“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God;
believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so,
would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me
that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am
going.”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are
going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know
my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be
enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I
have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the
Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in
the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak
on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his
work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or
at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. Very truly I tell
you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will
do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will
do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:1-14
