John 13:36-14:14
New King James Version
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”
Jesus answered him, “Where I (A)am going you cannot follow Me now, but (B)you shall follow Me afterward.”
37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will (C)lay down my life for Your sake.”
38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not (D)crow till you have denied Me three times.
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
14 “Let (E)not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. (F)I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, (G)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that (H)where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 (I)Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am (J)the way, (K)the truth, and (L)the life. (M)No one comes to the Father (N)except through Me.
The Father Revealed
7 (O)“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? (P)He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that (Q)I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you (R)I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, (S)or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
The Answered Prayer
12 (T)“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 (U)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be (V)glorified in the Son. 14 If you [c]ask anything in My name, I will do it.
