Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”
And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but
you will follow me later.”
37 “But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked. “I’m
ready to die for you.”
38 Jesus answered, “Die for me? I tell you the truth,
Peter—before the rooster crows tomorrow morning,
you will deny three times that you even know me.

Jesus, the Way to the Father
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in
God, and trust also in me. 2 There is more than
enough room in my Father’s home.* If this were not
so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare
a place for you?* 3 When everything is ready, I will
come and get you, so that you will always be with
me where I am. 4And you know the way to where
I am going.”
5 “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have
no idea where you are going, so how can we know
the way?”
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the
life. No one can come to the Father except through
me. 7 If you had really known me, you would know
who my Father is.* From now on, you do know him
and have seen him!”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will
be satisfied.”
9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time,
Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why
are you asking me to show him to you? 10 Don’t you
believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in
me? The words I speak are not my own, but my
Father who lives in me does his work through me.
11 Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father
is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you
have seen me do.
12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me
will do the same works I have done, and even greater
works, because I am going to be with the Father.
13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do
it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes,
ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
“If you love me, obey* my commandments. 16And
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Advocate,* who will never leave you. 17 He is the
Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and
doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because
he lives with you now and later will be in you.* 18 No,
I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to

“What the law
tried to do by a
restraining power
from without, the
gospel does by an
inspiring power

you. 19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you
will see me. Since I live, you also will live. 20 When I
am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my
Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Those
who accept my commandments and obey them are
the ones who love me. And because they love me, my
Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal
myself to each of them.”
22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple
with that name) said to him, “Lord, why are you
going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the
world at large?”
23 Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I
say. My Father will love them, and we will come and
make our home with each of them. 24Anyone who
doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember,
my words are not my own. What I am telling you is
from the Father who sent me. 25 I am telling you these
things now while I am still with you. 26 But when the
Father sends the Advocate as my representative—
that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything
and will remind you of everything I have told you.
27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind
and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world
cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will
come back to you again. If you really loved me, you
would be happy that I am going to the Father, who
