Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.^(A) You believe^(B) in God^[a];^(C) believe also in me. ² My 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? ³ And 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) 4} You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

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

⁶ Jesus 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)

²² Then Judas^(A) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”^(B)

²³ Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.^(C) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.^{(D) 24} Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.^(E)

²⁵ “All this I have spoken while still with you. ²⁶ But the Advocate,^(F) the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,^(G) will teach you all things^(H) and will remind you of everything I have said to you.^{(I) 27} Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.^(J) I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled^(K) and do not be afraid.
