(B)I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, (C)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that (D)where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe[a] in God; believe[b] also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because[c] I am going away to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.”
