![]() I go to prepare a place for you.ģAnd if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also.ĤAnd whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.ĥThomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest and how can we know the way?ĦJesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.ħIf ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.ĨPhilip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.ĩJesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?ġ0Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.ġ1Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.ġ2Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.ġ3And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.ġ4If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. ![]() 1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.ĢIn my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. The commandments of the Father kept by Christ were not only the precepts of the moral law, and the rites of the ceremonial one, which he strictly observed but the preaching of the Gospel, and submitting to the ordinances of it, doing of miracles, and laying down his life for his people in performing which, as his Father testified his approbation of them, and how strongly he was affected to him, what an abiding he had in his love so Christ hereby showed his constant and continued love to his Father and which was done by him, that the world, as well as his disciples, might know how much he loved him see ( John 14:31 ).
