14: 1-12
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You
have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling
places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare
a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again
and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going
you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are
going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, AI am the way and the truth
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me,
then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip
said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus
said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know
me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show
us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in
me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells
in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is
in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to
you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater
ones than these, because I am going to the Father.”
