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) 7} If you really know me, you will know^[b] my Father as well.^(M) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

¹⁹ Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.^(A) Because I live, you also will live.^{(B) 20} On that day^(C) you will realize that I am in my Father,^(D) and you are in me, and I am in you.^{(E) 21} Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.^(F) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,^(G) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
