John 14:5-21

⁵Thomas asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

⁷If you had known me, you would have known my Father too. From now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

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

⁹Jesus answered, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you haven’t known me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

¹⁰Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you aren’t my own, but from the Father who lives in me. He does the works.

¹¹Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

¹²“Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and even greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.

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

¹⁴If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵If you sincerely love me, you will keep my commandments.

¹⁶I will then ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, that He may be with you forever —

¹⁷the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, though, because He lives with you and will be in you.

¹⁸I won’t leave you orphans. I will come to you.

¹⁹After a little while the world won’t see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live.

²⁰In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

²¹Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, sincerely loves me. Whoever sincerely loves me will be sincerely loved by my Father, and I’ll sincerely love them and reveal myself to them.”
