"Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him,
Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him,
and have seen him."
John 14:1–7
