Jesus Teaches About Heaven

John 14:1-14

John 14

1“Do not let your hearts be

troubled. Trust in God; trust also

in me. 2In 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. 3And 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. 4You

know the way to the place where

I am going.” 5Thomas said to him, “Lord,

we don’t know where you are

going, so how can we know the

way?” 6Jesus answered, “I am the

way and the truth and the life. No

one comes to the Father except

through me. 7If you really knew

me, you would know my Father

as well. From now on, you do

know him and have seen him.” 8Philip said, “Lord, show us

the Father and that will be

enough for us.” 9Jesus 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. How can

you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe that I am in

the Father, and that 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. 11Believe 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. 12I 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. 13And I

will do whatever you ask in my

name, so that the Son may bring

glory to the Father. 14You may

ask me for anything in my name,

and I will do it.

JESUS TEACHES

ABOUT HEAVEN Jesus told his

disciples, “Do not

let your hearts be

troubled. Trust in

God; trust also in

me. 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. 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. You know the way to the

place where I am going.”

But Thomas said to Jesus, “We don’t

know where you are going, so how can

we know the way.”

Jesus replied, “I am the way and the

truth and the life. No one comes to the

Father except through me. If you really

knew me, you would know my Father as

well. From now on, you do know him

and have seen him.”

Philip said to Jesus, “Just show us

the Father and that will be enough.”

Jesus answered, “Anyone who has

seen me has seen the Father.”
