John 14: 4-5

4 You know the way to the place where I am going.

I want you to realize that you already know how to get to the place I am going. I know your hearts are troubled because I have told you I am going away, but not only have I told you about where I am going (to prepare a place for you in My Father's House) but I also want to reassure you that you even know the way to that place. Take comfort, you will not get lost along the way. It is not a secret path that is hidden from you that you will have to search for. The way is plain and simple and straightforward. In fact, it is so simple that you have overlooked it.

5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how we know the way?"

Thomas said, Lord, I know you've told us before but we just don't get it. Whatever you are trying to explain to us sounds like nothing we’ve ever heard before. It doesn't make sense to us that you would be leaving us so soon. You’ve only been leading us and teaching us for 3 years. And since we do not understand the first part, about where you are going, we certainly cannot understand the second part about how to get there.
