In My Father’s House Are Many Rooms

1Let not your heart be troubled: ye beleeue in God, beleeue also in me. 2In my Fathers house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I would haue tolde you: I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go to prepare a place for you, I wil come againe, and receiue you vnto my selfe, that where I am, there may ye be also. 4And whither I go, ye know, and the way ye knowe.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

5Thomas sayd vnto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: how ca we then know ye way? 6Iesus sayd vnto him, I am that Way, and that Trueth, and that Life. No man commeth vnto the Father, but by me.

7If ye had knowen mee, ye should haue knowen my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and haue seene him.

8Philippe sayd vnto him, Lord, shewe vs thy Father, and it sufficeth vs. 9Iesus sayd vnto him, I haue bene so long time with you, and hast thou not knowen mee, Philippe? he that hath seene me, hath seene my Father: how then sayest thou, Shewe vs thy Father? 10Beleeuest thou not, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my selfe: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the workes. 11Beleeue me, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me: at the least, beleeue me for the very workes sake. 12Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that beleeueth in me, the workes that I doe, hee shall doe also, and greater then these shall he doe: for I goe vnto my Father. 13And whatsoeuer ye aske in my Name, that will I doe, that the Father may be glorified in the Sonne. 14If ye shall aske any thing in my Name, I will doe it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
(John 16:5–16)

15If ye loue me, keepe my comandements,

16And I wil pray the Father, and he shal giue you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for euer, 17Euen the Spirit of trueth, whome the world can not receiue, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye knowe him: for he dwelleth with you, and shalbe in you.

18I will not leaue you fatherles: but I will come to you. 19Yet a litle while, and the world shal see me no more, but ye shall see me: because I liue, ye shall liue also. 20At that day shall ye knowe that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21He that hath my commandements, & keepeth them, is he that loueth me: and he that loueth me, shall be loued of my Father: and I will loue him, & wil shewe mine owne selfe to him. 22Iudas sayd vnto him (not Iscariot) Lorde, what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? 23Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, If any man loue me, he will keepe my worde, and my Father will loue him, and we wil come vnto him, and wil dwell with him. 24He that loueth me not, keepeth not my wordes, & the worde which ye heare, is not mine, but the Fathers which sent me.

25These things haue I spoken vnto you, being present with you. 26But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father wil send in my Name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I haue tolde you.

Peace I Leave with You

27Peace I leaue with you: my peace I giue vnto you: not as the worlde giueth, giue I vnto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor feare. 28Ye haue heard howe I saide vnto you, I goe away, and will come vnto you. If ye loued me, ye would verely reioyce, because I said, I goe vnto the Father: for the Father is greater then I. 29And nowe haue I spoken vnto you, before it come, that when it is come to passe, ye might beleeue. 30Hereafter will I not speake many things vnto you: for the prince of this world commeth, and hath nought in me. 31But it is that the world may knowe that I loue my Father: and as the Father hath commanded me, so I doe. Arise, let vs goe hence.
