John 14:12

Faith Serving others Prayer

¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.

¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

¹³ And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴ If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
