John 14:26-16:33 but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you. ²⁷ I bid you farewell! I give you my last farewell; but I do not give it out of common formality: don't be concern'd for me, or apprehensive for your selves. ²⁸ ye have heard me say, "I am going away, and shall come again unto you." if ye loved me, ye would rejoice at my going to the father: for the father is greater than I. ²⁹ this I have told you now, before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may believe. my conversation will now be but short with you, ³⁰ for the prince of the world is coming: ³¹ not that he has any thing against me, but that the world may know that I love the father, by my executing the commands which my father gave me: arise, let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the genuine vine, and my father is the vintager. ² every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he takes away: as for the branch that bears fruit, he prunes it clean, to make it more fruitful. ³ you are already clean by the instructions I have given you. ⁴ be attach'd to me, and I shall be so to you. as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, except it be attach'd to the vine: so neither can you, except you continue attach'd to me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for independent of me ye can do nothing. ⁶ if a man abide not in me, he is cast away as withered branches that are gather'd up to be thrown into the fire, where they are burned. ⁷ if ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will, and you shall obtain it. ⁸ my father will be honour'd by your bearing much fruit, and you will have the honour of being my disciples. ⁹ as the father has loved me, and I have loved you: so do you persevere in your love to me. ¹⁰ your love to me will be in keeping my commandments: even as I love my father by keeping his commandments. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that you might have some present comfort, and that hereafter your joy might be compleat. ¹² this is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ there cannot be greater love than that of a man, who lays down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ you will be my friends, if you do what I have commanded you. ¹⁵ henceforth I do not treat you as servants; for the servant is unacquainted with his master's affairs: but I have treated you as friends; for what I have learnt of my father, I have communicated to you. ¹⁶ it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you. ¹⁷ Above all I enjoin you, to love one another. ¹⁸ if the world hate you, consider that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ if you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world does hate you. ²⁰ remember what I told you, "the servant is not greater than his master." if they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have been spies upon my discourse, they will be so upon yours. ²¹ but all these things will they do unto you, out of hatred to my name, because they know not him that sent me. ²² if I had not appear'd, and inform'd them, they would have been innocent: but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ he that hateth me, hateth my father also. ²⁴ if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father. ²⁵ so that the passage is fulfilled that is written in their law, "they hated me without a cause." ²⁶ but when the advocate is come, whom I will send to you from the father, even the spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the father, he shall testify of me. ²⁷ and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ I have told you these things that ye may not be discouraged. ² they shall expel you out of the synagogues: yea, the time is coming, when it will be thought an agreeable sacrifice to God for any one to take away your lives. ³ and thus will they treat you, because they have not known the father, nor me. ⁴ but these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you. ⁵ but now I am going to him that sent me; yet none of you ask me now, whither are you going? ⁶ are your minds so overwhelm'd with sorrow at what I told you? ⁷ nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. ⁸ and when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, of justice, of judgment: ⁹ of sin, because they believ'd not on me; ¹⁰ of justice, because I shall be with my father, and ye shall see me no more expos'd: ¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world is condemn'd. ¹² I have yet many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them now; ¹³ but when he, the spirit of truth shall come, he will inform you of all those truths: for he will not speak from himself; but the information he shall receive will he communicate: and acquaint you with what is to come. ¹⁴ he shall glorify me: for he will commuincate to you, the information, which I shall give him. ¹⁵ all that the father has is mine: that is the reason of my saying, "he shall communicate to you the information that I shall give him." ¹⁶ Within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father. ¹⁷ then said some of his disciples among themselves, what is the meaning of his saying, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father?" ¹⁸ for, said they, we cannot comprehend the meaning of that expression, "within a little while?" ¹⁹ now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?" ²⁰ verily, verily I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ a woman when she is in travail, is afflicted at the approach of her pains: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, the remembrance of her anguish, is lost in her joy, that a man is born into the world. ²² so you are afflicted at present: but I will see you again, and then shall your hearts be affected with joy, and your joy shall no one wrest from you. ²³ tho' then you cannot ask any thing of me in person, whatever ye shall ask the father in my name, I assure you he will grant it. ²⁴ hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be compleat. ²⁵ These things have I express'd in a figurative way: the time is coming when my language will be no longer enigmatical, but I shall give you a plain account relating to my father. ²⁶ though then ye shall ask in my name: I need not promise, that I will pray the father for you; ²⁷ for the father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I had my mission from God. ²⁸ I was sent by the father, and am come into the world: but now I leave the world, and am going to my father. ²⁹ His disciples said to him, what you say now is plain, and not enigmatical. ³⁰ now we are convinc'd that you know all our difficulties, and have no occasion that any man should propose them to you: by this we believe that you were sent from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, you now believe. ³² but, alas, the time is coming, yea, is already come, when ye shall be dispers'd every one to his own retreat, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the father is with me. ³³ these things I have appriz'd you of, that ye might repose your confidence in me. the world shall give you trouble: but take courage, I have overcome the world.
