John 14:1-11
Christian Standard Bible
The Way to the Father
14 “Don’t let your heart be troubled.(A) Believe[a] in God; (B) believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going (C) to prepare a place for you? 3 If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again(D) and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.(E) 4 You know the way to where I am going.”[b](F)
5 “Lord,” Thomas(G) said, “we don’t know where you’re going. How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus told him, “I am(H) the way,(I) the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you know me, you will also know[c] my Father.(J) From now on you do know him(K) and have seen him.”
Jesus Reveals the Father
8 “Lord,” said Philip,(L) “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father.(M) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?(N) The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own.(O) The Father who lives in me does his works.(P) 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe[d] because of the works themselves.(Q)

New International Version
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.(A) You believe(B) in God[a];(C) believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there(D) to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back(E) and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.(F) 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus the Way to the Father
5 Thomas(G) said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am(H) the way(I) and the truth(J) and the life.(K) No one comes to the Father except through me.(L) 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well.(M) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip(N) said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.(O) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?(P) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(Q) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.(R)
John 20:24-29
Christian Standard Bible
Thomas Sees and Believes
24 But Thomas(A) (called “Twin”[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples were telling him, “We’ve seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in his hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails,(B) and put my hand into his side,(C) I will never believe.”(D)
26 A week later his disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don’t be faithless, but believe.”(E)
28 Thomas responded to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed.[b] Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.”(F)

Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas(A) (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side,(B) I will not believe.”(C)
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(D) be with you!”(E) 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”(F)
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;(G) blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”(H)

Hebrews 10:36-11:2
Christian Standard Bible
36 For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.(A)
37 For yet in a very little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.
38 But my righteous one[a] will live by faith;
and if he draws back,
I have no pleasure[b] in him.[c](B)
39 But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.
Living by Faith
11 Now faith is the reality[d] of what is hoped for, the proof[e] of what is not seen.(C) 2 For by this our ancestors were approved.
Hebrews 10:36-11:2
New International Version
36 You need to persevere(A) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(B) 37 For,
38 And,
“But my righteous[b] one will live by faith.(E)
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”[c](F)
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
Faith in Action
11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for(G) and assurance about what we do not see.(H) 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.(I)
