1. What it says
Thomas asks how to know the way, and Philip asks to see the Father. What does Jesus answer each of them? (vv. 5-11)
2. What it means
Jesus promises another Advocate, the Spirit of truth, and leaves his peace (vv. 16-17, 26-27). What does he say the Advocate will do?
3. How I live it
Jesus says, “Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid” (v. 27). What troubles you today, and how could you place it in his hands?
