2 In my Father's house are many dwellings: and if not, I had said to you. I go to prepare a place for you. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, again I come, and I will receive you to myself; that where I am, ye might be also. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

9 Jesus says, to him, So long time am I with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he having seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Show us the Father? Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Believest thou not that I in the Father, and the Father is in me? the words which I speak to you, I speak not of myself: and the Father remaining in me does the works.

27 Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be timid. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
