(GWT)

:

If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again. Then I will bring you into my presence so that you will be where I am.
(GWT)
John
14
:
4
You know the way to the place where I am going."
(GWT)
John

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you're going. So how can we know the way?"
(GWT)
John
14
:
6
Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.

Jesus replied, "I have been with all of you for a long time. Don't you know me yet, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
(GWT)
John
14
:
10
Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I'm telling you doesn't come from me. The Father, who lives in me, does what he wants.
(GWT)
John
14
:
11
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me because of the things I do.

"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
(GWT)
John
14
:
16
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever.
(GWT)
John
14
:
17
That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn't see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you.
(GWT)
John
14
:
18
"I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you.
(GWT)
John
14
:

(GWT)
John
14
:
20
On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you.
(GWT)
John
14
:
21
Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father's love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them."

(GWT)
John
14
:
24
A person who doesn't love me doesn't do what I say. I don't make up what you hear me say. What I say comes from the Father who sent me.
(GWT)
John
14
:
25
"I have told you this while I'm still with you.
(GWT)
John
14
:
26

(GWT)
John
14
:
27
"I'm leaving you peace. I'm giving you my peace. I don't give you the kind of peace that the world gives. So don't be troubled or cowardly.
(GWT)
John
14
:
28
You heard me tell you, 'I'm going away, but I'm coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I'm going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.
(GWT)
John
14
:
