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.
All Commentaries on John 14:2 Go To John 14
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
He wished elegantly to use the same term in his comparison of the ultimate reward; promising to the very house, which undergoes dissolution through suffering, a better house through the resurrection. Just as the Lore also promises us many mansions as of a house in His Father's home.
Albeit there be "many mansions", in the house of the same Father.
