Study it word by word1“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 am going to prepare a place for you?
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
In its context
…
4And where I am going, you know the way.”
5Thomas says to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?”
