3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myfelf; that where I am, there ye may be alfo.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas faith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goeft; and how can we know the way?

6 Jefus faith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye fhould have known my Father alfo and from hence

22 Judas faith unto him, not Ifcariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifeft thyfelf unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jefus answered and faid unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my fayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which fent me.
