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.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
