1 \u201cLet not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father\u2019s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

5 Thomas said to Him, \u201cLord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?\u201d<\/p>\n

6 Jesus said to him, \u201cI am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
\nThe Father Revealed<\/p>\n

7 \u201cIf you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

8 Philip said to Him, \u201cLord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

9 Jesus said to him, \u201cHave I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, \u2018Show us the Father\u2019? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.<\/p>\n

12 \u201cMost assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
