Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. John
014:018 I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you.
014:019 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you
will see me: because I live, you also shall live.
014:020 At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you
are in me, and that I am in you.
014:021 He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me.
And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will
love him and will clearly reveal myself to him."
014:022 Judas (not the Iscariot) asked, "Master, how is it that you
will reveal yourself clearly to us and not to the world?"
014:023 "If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching;
and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make
our home with him.
014:024 He who has no love for me does not obey my teaching;
and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine,
but is the teaching of the Father who sent me.
014:025 "All this I have spoken to you while still with you.
014:026 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send
at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring
to your memories all that I have said to you.
014:027 Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you.
It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace.
Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.
014:028 "You heard me say to you, `I am going away, and yet I am coming
to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I
am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I am.
014:029 I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has
come to pass you may believe.
014:030 In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince
of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing;
014:031 but it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father,
and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father
gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going."
015:001 "I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.
015:002 Every branch in me--if it bears no fruit, He takes away;
and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may
bear more fruit.
015:003 Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I
have given you.
015:004 Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue
in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me.
015:005 I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who continues in me
and in whom I continue bears abundant fruit, for apart from me
you can do nothing.
