John 14: 1-3

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

You believe in God; believe also in me.

My Father’s house has many rooms; if

that were not so, would I have told you

that I am going there to prepare a

place for you? And if I go and prepare

a place for you, I will come back and

take you to be with me that you also

may be where I am.
