John 14:1-14

The Way, the Truth, and the Life, the Father Revealed in the Son, and the Promise of the Spirit

Jesus comforts troubled disciples, reveals himself as the only way to the Father, declares that seeing him is seeing the Father, promises greater works and prayer in his name, promises the Spirit of truth, gives his peace, and frames his departure as loving obedience to the Father.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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

2In 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?

3And 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.

4You know the way to the place where I am going.”

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

6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

8Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”

9Jesus 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’?

10Do 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.

11Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

12Truly, 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.

13And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.
