The Exact Expression of God (John 14:1-9)

 

John 14

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

 ¹“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God^[a]; trust also in me. ²In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. 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 take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.⁴You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

 ⁵Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t 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 really knew me, you would know^[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

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

 ⁹Jesus 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’?
