mnt@John:14:1 @ "Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.

mnt@John:14:2 @ In my Fathers house there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went to prepare a place for you?

mnt@John:14:3 @ I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.

mnt@John:14:4 @ And the way is known to you all, where I am going."

mnt@John:14:10 @ "Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself; but the Father, who ever dwells in me, is doing his own work.

mnt@John:15:15 @ "I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.

mnt@John:15:16 @ "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
