Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14 ^(A)“Let not your hearts be troubled. ^(B)Believe in God;^[a] believe also in me. ² In ^(C)my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that ^(D)I go to prepare a place for you?^{[b] 3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you ^(E)to myself, that ^(F)where I am you may be also. ⁴ And you know the way to where I am going.”^{[c] 5 (G)}Thomas said to him, “Lord, ^(H)we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” ⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am ^(I)the way, and ^(J)the truth, and ^(K)the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ^7 (L)If you had known me, you would have ^(M)known my Father also.^[d] From now on you do know him and ^(N)have seen him.”

^8 (O)Philip said to him, “Lord, ^(P)show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^(Q)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that ^(R)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^(S)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹ Believe me that ^(T)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^(U)believe on account of the works themselves.

¹² “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(V)whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I ^(W)am going to the Father. ^13 (X)Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that ^(Y)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ^14 (Z)If you ask me^[e] anything in my name, I will do it.

^2 (A)Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual ^(B)milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— ³ if indeed you have ^(C)tasted that the Lord is good.

⁴ As you come to him, a living stone ^(D)rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, ^5 (E)you yourselves like living stones are being built up as ^(F)a spiritual house, to be ^(G)a holy priesthood, ^(H)to offer spiritual sacrifices ^(I)acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ For it stands in Scripture:

⁷ So the honor is for you who ^(L)believe, but for those who ^(M)do not believe,

⁸ and

They stumble because they disobey the word, ^(P)as they were destined to do.

⁹ But you are ^(Q)a chosen race, ^(R)a royal ^(S)priesthood, ^(T)a holy nation, ^(U)a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you ^(V)out of darkness into ^(W)his marvelous light. ^10 (X)Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
