CelehratintJ t.beLile ,
~t not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
y Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have 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.
