"many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told 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. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.” For your sake I came into the world. I am working in your behalf. When I go away, I shall still work earnestly for you. I came into the world to reveal Myself to you, that you might believe. I go to the Father to co-operate with Him in your behalf. The object of Christ's departure was the opposite of what the disciples feared. It did not mean a final separation. He was going to prepare a place for them, that He might come again, and receive them unto Himself. While He was building mansions for them, they were to build characters after the divine similitude. DA 663.1"
"In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."
The EGW passage directly quotes and expands upon John 14:2, making the connection explicit.
"Still the disciples were perplexed. Thomas, always troubled by doubts, said, “Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.” DA 663.2"
"Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?"
EGW directly quotes John 14:5.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
EGW directly quotes John 14:6.
"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
EGW directly quotes John 14:7.
"There are not many ways to heaven. Each one may not choose his own way. Christ says, “I am the way: ... no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” Since the first gospel sermon was preached, when in Eden it was declared that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head, Christ had been uplifted as the way, the truth, and the life. He was the way when Adam lived, when Abel presented to God the blood of the slain lamb, representing the blood of the Redeemer. Christ was the way by which patriarchs and prophets were saved. He is the way by which alone we can have access to God. DA 663.3"
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
EGW directly quotes John 14:6.
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
The EGW passage refers to the 'first gospel sermon' and the bruising of the serpent's head, which is a clear reference to Genesis 3:15 and its interpretation as a proto-gospel. The connection is thematic, as it links the promise of redemption in Genesis to Christ as the way, truth, and life.
"By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh."
EGW uses Abel's offering as an example of salvation through Christ's blood, connecting it to Hebrews 11:4 which speaks of Abel's faith and righteousness through his sacrifice. While not a direct quote, the connection is meaningful and supports the idea of Christ being the way of salvation from the beginning.
"“If ye had known Me,” Christ said, “ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.” But not yet did the disciples understand. “Lord, show us the Father,” exclaimed Philip, “and it sufficeth us.” DA 663.4"
"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
EGW directly quotes John 14:7.
"Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
EGW directly quotes John 14:8.
