HOLY GOSPEL: John 14:1-14
[Jesus said to the
disciples:] 1“Do not let your hearts be
troubled. Believe in God, believe also in
me. 2In my
Father’s house there are many dwelling
places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to
prepare a place for you? 3And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to
myself, so that where I am, there you may be
also. 4And you know the way to the
place where I am going.” 5Thomas said
to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know
the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am the
way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except
through me. 7If you know me, you will know
my
Father also.
From now on you do know him and have seen
him.”
8Philip said
to him, “Lord, show us the
Father, and
we will be satisfied.” 9Jesus said to
him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do
not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the
Father. How
can you say, ‘Show us the
Father’? 10Do you not
believe that I am in the
Father and
the
Father is in
me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but
the
Father who
dwells in me does his works. 11Believe me
that I am in the
Father and
the
Father is in
me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works
themselves. 12Very truly, I tell you, the one
who believes in me will also do the
works that I
do and, in fact, will do greater
works than
these, because I am going to the
Father. 13I will do
whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in
the Son. 14If in my name you ask me for
anything, I will do it.”
