JOHN THE APOSTLE ON THE WORD.

JOHN THE APOSTLE QUOTES JESUS CHRIST AS SAYING THIS IN JOHN14:1-4:

"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 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. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know."

1Let not yourG5216 heartG2588 be troubledG5015: ye believeG4100 in GodG2316, believeG4100 alsoG2532 in me.

ANALYSIS OF THE GREEK WORDS:
"TROUBLED" G5015 tarassoô tar-as'-so Of uncertain affinity; to stir or agitate (roil water):—trouble.

"BELIEVE" G4100 pisteuoô pist-yoo'-o From G4102; to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), that is, credit; by implication to entrust (especially one’s spiritual well being to Christ):—believe (-r), commit (to trust), put in trust with.

The same Greek word (pisteuosj ) is used in both cases of "believe."

JOHN14:2
In my Father’sG3962 houseG3614 are manyG4183 mansionsG3438: ifG1490 it were not so, I would have toldG2036 you.

"Mansions" G3438 moneô mon-ay'
From G3306; a staying, that is, residence (the act or the place):—abode, mansion.

"...If it were not so, I would have told you."

This self-affirmation of the truth of Jesus Christ’s statement leave little room for speculation. Either Jesus is telling the truth or He’s not.
Jesus also makes an enormous assertion, to say: "...believe in God also (and) in me believe. (Word position in the Greek sentence.)--if Jesus Christ is not equal to God.
Normally, word position in a sentence is not as significant in the Greek language as in English, but the Greeks added strength to their meanings by putting the preposition in the front of the phrase.
"A mere man (if a good man)would never have connected his name with that of God's as Christ does. Moses never said, "Believe in God, believe also in me." Whitelaw in "The Gospel of John
