1 “Don’t get flustered; believe in God, believe in me, whatever. 2 My Father’s house has a lotta space(s). If not, I’d have told you. I am going to prepare the place for you. 3 That’s how you know I will come again to receive you there myself; so that where I am, you also get to be there. 4 If you know my path, then you know The Way.”

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I AM is The Way, Truth, and Life. No one comes to Th’em, except through me. 7 If you had been familiar with me, you would have been familiar with my Father too. From now on, you recognize God(s) because you have seen God(s).”

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

**9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not recognize me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words aren’t mine; but the Father who dwells in me also works in me. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me because I do The Work. 12 I’m telling you, Believers of mine do The Work and more because I’m headed to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask, the same way I’ve asked, it will happen because the Father will always be glorified in the The Way of the Son. 14 If you ask the way I have, that shit’ll get done because I’ve shown how to get shit done.**15 If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, * that he may be with you forever: 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

25 “I have said these things to you while still living with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. 28 You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I. 29 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
