"^(C1)Do not let your heart be troubled; ^(F1)believe in God, believe also in Me.

"In My Father's house are many ^(F1)rooms; if that were not so, ^(F2)I would have told you, because ^(C1)I am going there to prepare a place for you.

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(C1)I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that ^(C2)where I am, there you also will be.

"And you know the way where I am going."

^(C1)Thomas ^(*)said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?"

Jesus ^(*)said to him, "I am ^(C1)the way, and ^(C2)the truth, and ^(C3)the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

"^(C1)If you ^(F1)had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you ^(C2)know Him, and have ^(C3)seen Him."

^(C1)Philip ^(*)said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

Jesus ^(*)said to him, "Have I been with ^(F1)you for so long a time, and yet ^(F2)you have not come to know Me, Philip? ^(C1)The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

"Do you not believe that ^(C1)I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? ^(C2)The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works.

"Believe Me that ^(C1)I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise ^(C2)believe because of the works themselves.

"Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and ^(C1)greater works than these he will do; because ^(C2)I am going to the Father.

"And ^(C1)whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that ^(C2)the Father may be glorified in the Son.

"If you ask Me anything ^(C1)in My name, I will do it.

"^(C1)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ^(F1)(C1)Helper, so that He may be with you forever;

the Helper is ^(C1)the Spirit of truth, ^(C2)whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.

"I will not leave you as orphans; ^(C1)I am coming to you.

"^(F1)(C1)After a little while, ^(C2)the world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; ^(C3)because I live, you also will live.

"^(C1)On that day you will know that ^(C2)I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you.

"^(C1)The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ^(C2)the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ^(C3)reveal Myself to him."

^(C1)Judas (not Iscariot) ^(*)said to Him, "Lord, what has happened ^(C2)that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "^(C1)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(C2)follow My word; and ^(C3)My Father will love him, and We ^(C4)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

"The one who does not love Me ^(C1)does not follow My words; and ^(C2)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

"These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you.

"But the ^(C1)Helper, the Holy Spirit ^(C2)whom the Father will send in My name, ^(C3)He will teach you all things, and ^(C4)remind you of all that I said to you.

"^(C1)Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. ^(F1)(C2)Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor ^(F2)fearful.

"^(C1)You heard that I said to you, 'I am going away, and ^(C2)I am coming to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced ^(F1)because ^(C3)I am going to the Father, for ^(C4)the Father is greater than I.

"And now ^(C1)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

"I will not speak much more with you, for ^(C1)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has ^(F1)nothing in regard to Me,

but so that the world may know that I love the Father, ^(F1)I do exactly as ^(C1)the Father commanded Me. Get up, ^(C2)let's go from here.
