Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary John 14:4

"And whither I go, ye know the way." — John 14:4 (ASV)

Verses 1–4 not only contain Jesus’ answer to Peter’s question but also indicate Jesus’ attempt to return to the theme of the discourse he had first begun. He assumed that they knew the way to their destination; all they would need to do would be to follow the road. His sheep would follow him and find “the house of the LORD” at the end of their journey (Psalms 23:6).
