Job 42:1-6

New International Version

Job

42 Then Job replied to the Lord:

²“I know that you can do all things;^(A)
    no purpose of yours can be thwarted.^(B)
³You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’^(C)
    Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
    things too wonderful for me to know.^(D)

⁴“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
    I will question you,
    and you shall answer me.’^(E)
⁵My ears had heard of you^(F)
    but now my eyes have seen you.^(G)
⁶Therefore I despise myself^(H)
    and repent^(I) in dust and ashes.”^(J)

John 14:1-7

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.”
