In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

3 a nd if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

4 a nd whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.'

And where I am going, you know the way.

5 T homas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'

Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?

6 J esus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father?

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the ( His ) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).

11 b elieve me, that I in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

12 ` Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?

Jesus answered, If a person loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.

You heard Me tell you, I am going away and I am coming to you. If you loved Me, you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater and mightier than I am.

29 ` And now I have said to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;

And now I have told you before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may believe and have faith in and rely on Me.
