In My Father’s House Are Many Rooms

1Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and believe in me. 2In my Father's house are many dwellings: and if not, I had said to you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And 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. 4And where I retire ye know, and the way ye know.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

5Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou retirest; and how can we know the way? 6Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, except by me.

7If ye had known me, ye had also known my Father: and from now ye know, and have seen him.

8Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us. 9Jesus 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? 10Believest 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. 11Believe ye me that I in the Father, and the Father in me: and if not, for these works believe me. 12Truly, truly, I say to you, He believing in me, the works which I do shall he do also; and greater than these shall he do; for I go to my Father. 13And whatever ye ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father might be honoured by the Son. 14If ye ask anything in my name, I will do.

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

15If ye love me, keep my commands.

16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Intercessor, that should remain with you forever; 17The Spirit of truth; which the world cannot receive, for it sees it not, neither knows: and ye know it; for it shall remain with you, and shall be in you.

18I will not leave you orphans; I come to you. 19Yet a little, and the world sees me no more; and ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20In that day shall ye know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21He having my commands, and keeping them, the same is he loving me: and he loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him. 22Judas says to him, not Iscariot, Lord, how has it been that thou art about to make thyself manifest to us, and not to the world? 23Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our stay with him. 24He not loving me will not keep my words: and the word which ye hear is not of me, but of the Father having sent me.

25These have I spoken to you, remaining with you. 26But the Intercessor, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, the same shall teach you all things, and he shall remind you of all things which I spake to you.

Peace I Leave with You

27Peace 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. 28Ye have heard that I said to you, I retire, and I am coming to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29And now have I told you before it shall be, that when it should be, ye might believe. 30I will no more speak much with you: for the ruler of this world comes, and has nothing in me. 31But that the world might know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, so I do. Arise ye, let us go thence.
