823

Peter said to Him, "Lord! why can't I follow Thee now? I will lay down my life for Thee.

824

Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me?" verily, verily, I say unto thee, The shall not crow until thou hast denied Me thrice.

825

And if it were not so, I would say to you, "I am coming to prepare a place for you."

826

"And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to Myself, that you also may be where I am."

827

And where I am going, you know, and you know the way.

828

Thomas said to Him, "Lord! we do not know where you are going; and how can we know the way?

829

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life;

830

no one comes to the Father except through Me.

831

If you knew Me, you would know My Father.

832

And from now on you know Him

833

and they saw Him.

Jesus said to him, "How long have I been with you, and you do not know me, Philip?"
