In My Father’s House Are Many Rooms

1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2Many mansions are in the house of my Father; but if it were not so, I would have told you; because I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I may go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; in order that you may also be where I am. 4And whither I go, you know the way.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

5And Thomas says to Him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: and how do we know the way? 6Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh to the Father, but through me.

7If you have known me, you shall also know my Father: and henceforth you know Him and have seen Him.

8Philip says to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9Jesus says to Him, Am I so long time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? The one having seen me hath seen the Father: how do you say, Show us the Father? 10Dost thou not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father who abideth in me doeth His own works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or if not, believe for the sake of the works themselves. 12Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, shall also do the works which I am doing; and shall do greater works than these: because I go to the Father: 13and whatsoever you may ask in my name, I will do it, in order that the rather may be glorified in the Son. 14If you may ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.

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

15If you love me, keep my commandments.

16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you always, 17the Spirit of truth: which the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him, nor know Him: you know Him: because He abideth with you, and shall be in you.

18I will not leave you orphans: I am coming to you. 19Vet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. 20In that day you shall know that I am in the Father, you in me, and I in you. 21The one having my commandments, and keeping them, he is the one loving me with divine love: the one loving me with divine love, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself unto him. 22Judas. (not Iscariot), says to Him, Lord, and how is it that you are about to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? 23Jesus responded and said to him; If any one may love me with divine love, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our mansion with him. 24The one not loving me with divine love does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me.

25I have spoken these things to you, abiding with you: 26but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things, which I spoke to you.

Peace I Leave with You

27My peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor afraid. 28You heard that I said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you love me with divine love, you would rejoice, because I go to my Father: because the Father is greater than I. 29And I have now told you before it takes place, in order that, when it may come to pass, you may believe. 30I shall no longer speak many things with you, because the prince of the world comes: and he has nothing in me; 31but in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and as He commanded, so I am doing. Arise, let us go hence.
