Jesus answered, "You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am.

I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfill the scripture, ‘The one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am he.

Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.'

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now; but you will follow afterward."

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.

And you know the way to the place where I am going."

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves.

Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.

"I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you.

On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

"I have said these things to you while I am still with you.

You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.

I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.

But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?'
