St. John 14:1-6 Let not your heart be troubled ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my fathers house are many mansions: If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am there ye maybe also. And whether I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas said unto him, Lord we know not whether thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.
