John 14:1-4 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s 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 and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am [there] ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
