In My Father’s House Are Many Rooms

Verse1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.

Verse2In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

Verse3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.

Verse4You know the way to the place where I am going. ”

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Verse5“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”

Verse6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Verse7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Verse8Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”

Verse9Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Verse10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.

Verse11Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

Verse12Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

Verse13And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Verse14If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

Verse15If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Verse16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—

Verse17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.

Verse18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Verse19In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.

Verse20On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

Verse21Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

Verse22Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”

Verse23Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

Verse24Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.

Verse25All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.

Verse26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

Peace I Leave with You

Verse27Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.

Verse28You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

Verse29And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.

Verse30I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.

Verse31But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
