John 14:1-14
Jesus the Way to the Father
14 “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.
