This Week's Gospel: John 14: 1 – 12.
(20th-April-2008) 5th Sunday of Easter, Year A

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
This reading corresponds well with opening of the caput given: it comprises the paragraphs in the Sangallen notation, 162: 1 – 3 and 163: 1 – 4. Note this is equivalent to breaking verse 12, and discarding the latter part of that verse, but it should be noted that the latter part of verse 12 runs into 13 without a break of sentence
The reading is entirely from John.

CLVII. Ubi Ihesus hortatur discipulos suos, ut non pavefiat cor vestrum.
(Where Jesus encourages His disciples, that they not let their hearts be troubled.)


162
Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself: that where I am, you also may be, and whither I go you know: and the way you know.

Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest. And how can we know the way?

Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him. And you have seen him.

163
Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father; and it is enough for us.

Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me?

Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou: Shew us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me?

The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works. Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake.
