New International Version

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.^(A) You believe^(B) in God^[a];^(C) believe also in me. ²My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there^(D) to prepare a place for you? ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back^(E) and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.^(F) ⁴You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

⁵Thomas^(G) said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus answered, “I am^(H) the way^(I) and the truth^(J) and the life.^(K) No one comes to the Father except through me.^(L) ⁷If you really know me, you will know^[b] my Father as well.^(M) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
