The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of John 14. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 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.

3 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.
