I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told [fn]you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 [fn]So when I go, it is to prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. 4 You know [fn]where I am going, and you know the way.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where yoʋ are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you [fn]had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long and still yoʋ do not know me, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can yoʋ say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do yoʋ 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 authority, but the Father who abides in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe [fn]me because of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do. He will even do greater works than these, because I am going to [fn]my Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask [fn]me anything in my name, I will do it.
