5. Thomas said to Jesus, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. So how can we know the way?”
6. Jesus answered, “I am the way. And I am the truth and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.
7. If you really knew me, then you would know my Father, too. But now you do know him, and you have seen him.”
8. Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need.”
9. Jesus answered, “I have been with you a long time now. Do you still not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. So why do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10. Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say to you don’t come from me. The Father lives in me, and he is doing his own work.
11. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or believe because of the miracles I have done.
12. I tell you the truth. He who believes in me will do the same things that I do. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father.
13. And if you ask for anything in my name, I will do it for you. Then the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son.
14. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
15. “If you love me, you will do the things I command.
16. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper. He will give you this Helper to be with you forever.
17. The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because it does not see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you and he will be in you.
