“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my father’s house are many mansions: if it were not true, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 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.”
