in the Son. (14)If ye
shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
(15)If ye love me, keep my commandments. (16)And I will ask of the
Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with
you forever; (17)the Spirit of truth, whom the world can not receive,
because it sees him not, neither knows him; but ye know him, because
he abides with you, and shall be in you. (18)I will not leave you
bereaved[14:18]; I will come to you.
(19)Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but ye see me;
because I live, ye shall live also. (20)In that day ye shall know that
I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (21)He that has my
commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that
loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him.
(22)Judas says to him (not Iscariot): Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? (23)Jesus answered and
said to him: If any one loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father
will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
(24)He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which ye
hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
(25)These things have I spoken to you, while abiding with you. (26)But
the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things
which I said to you.
(27)Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world
gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it
be afraid. (28)Ye heard how I said to you: I go away; and I come to
you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced that I go to the Father;
because the Father is greater than I. (29)And now I have told you
before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may
believe.
(30)I will no longer talk much with you; for the prince of the world
comes, and in me he has nothing. (31)But that the world may know that
I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, so I do.
Arise, let us go hence.

I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (2)Every branch
in me that bears not fruit, he takes it away; and every one that bears
fruit, he cleanses it, that it may bear more fruit. (3)Ye are already
clean, through the word which I have spoken to you.
(4)Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of
itself, if it abide not in
