Let not your heart be troubled: Believe in God, believe also in me. In my fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so. I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go, ye know the way. “ John 14: 1-4
