| John 14:2
| In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: that I go to prepare a place for you:
| In my Father's house. He does not say of your Father: for though God be the Father of all by creation, and of the just, by the grace of adoption; yet Christ in several places, calls him his Father, in a quite different sense, that is, as he was his eternal Father, as the ancient interpreters observe. (Witham) --- These many mansions signify different degrees of glory in heaven. (St. Jerome, lib. 2:adv. Jovin.)
