In My Father’s House Are Many Rooms 2 WBS 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. BSB BSB: In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3 WBS And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. BSB BSB: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
4 WBS And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. BSB BSB: You know the way to the place where I am going.”
The Way, the Truth, and the Life 5 WBS Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? BSB BSB: “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
7 WBS If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. BSB BSB: If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
8 WBS Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. BSB BSB: Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
10 WBS Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. BSB BSB: Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.
11 WBS Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. BSB BSB: Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.
12 WBS Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father. BSB BSB: Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 WBS And whatever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. BSB BSB: And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 WBS If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it . BSB BSB: If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

18 WBS I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you. BSB BSB: I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 WBS Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. BSB BSB: In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.

21 WBS He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. BSB BSB: Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”
22 WBS Judas, not Iscariot, saith to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? BSB BSB: Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
24 WBS He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me. BSB BSB: Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.

Peace I Leave with You 29 WBS And now I have told you before it cometh to pass, that when it hath come to pass, ye may believe. BSB BSB: And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
30 WBS Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. BSB BSB: I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.
31 WBS But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. BSB BSB: But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
