JESUS COMFORTS HIS DISCIPLES

John 14:1-14

'DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED.

TRUST IN GOD; TRUST ALSO IN ME.

2 In 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.

3 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.

4 YOU KNOW THE WAY

TO THE PLACE WHERE I AM GOING.'

Jesus The Way To The Father

5 Thomas said to Him,

'LORD WE DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING,

SO HOW CAN WE KNOW THE WAY?'

6 Jesus answered,

'I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.

NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.

7 IF YOU REALLY KNEW ME,

YOU WOULD KNOW MY FATHER AS WELL.

FROM NOW ON, YOU DO KNOW HIM

AND HAVE SEEN HIM.'

8 Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father

And that will be Enough for us.'

9 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.

(Jesus is the visible Form of God)

HOW CAN YOU SAY, 'SHOW US THE FATHER'?

10 DON'T YOU BELIEVE THAT I AM IN THE FATHER,

AND THE FATHER IS IN ME?

THE WORDS I SAY TO YOU ARE NOT JUST MY OWN.

RATHER, IT IS THE FATHER,

LIVING IN ME, WHO IS DOING HIS WORK.

11 BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY

THAT I AM IN THE FATHER

AND THE FATHER IS IN ME;

OR AT LEAST

BELIEVE ON THE EVIDENCE

OF THE MIRACLES THEMSELVES.

12 I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

ANYONE WHO HAS FAITH IN ME

WILL DO WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING.

HE WILL DO EVEN GREATER THINGS THAN THESE,

BECAUSE I AM GOING TO THE FATHER.

13 AND I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME,

SO THAT THE SON MAY BRING GLORY TO THE FATHER.

14 YOU MAY ASK ME FOR ANYTHING IN MY NAME,

AND I WILL DO IT.

(John 14:1-14)
