2. "There are many rooms in my Father's house. If this were not true, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
3. If I go and do that, I will come back. And I will take you to be with me. Then you will also be where I am.
4. "You know the way to the place where I am going."
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 also. From now on, you do know him. And you have seen him."
8. Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father. That will be enough for us."
9. Jesus answered, "Don't you know me, Philip? I have been among you such a long time! Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10. "Don't you believe that I am in the Father? Don't you believe that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. The Father lives in me. He is the One who is doing his work.
11. Believe me when I say I am in the Father. Also believe that the Father is in me. Or at least believe what the miracles show about me.
12. "What I'm about to tell you is true. Anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. In fact, he will do even greater things. That is because I am going to the Father.
13. "And I will do anything you ask in my name. Then the Son will bring glory to the Father.
14. You may ask me for anything in my name. I will do it.
15. "If you love me, you will obey what I command.
16. I will ask the Father. And he will give you another Friend to help you and to be with you forever.
17. The Friend is the Spirit of truth. The world can't accept him. That is because the world does not see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you.
18. "I will not leave you like children who don't have parents. I will come to you.
19. "Before long, the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
