“Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in Me.
“In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go and prepare a place for you.”
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
