14:8. Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father; and it is enough
for us.
14:9. Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have
you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How
sayest thou: Shew us the Father?
14:10. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me?
The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father
who abideth in me, he doth the works.
14:11. Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me?
14:12. Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen, I say to
you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and
greater than these shall he do.
14:13. Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the
Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in
the Son.
14:14. If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
14:15. If you love me, keep my commandments.
14:16. And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another
Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever:
Paraclete... That is, a comforter: or also an advocate; inasmuch as by
inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us. For
ever... Hence it is evident that this Spirit of Truth was not only
promised to the persons of the apostles, but also to their successors
through all generations.
14:17. The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall
abide with you and shall be in you.
14:18. I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you.
14:19. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see
me: because I live, and you shall live.
14:20. In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me,
and I in you.
14:21. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that
loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will
love him and will manifest myself to him.
14:22. Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it that thou
wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
14:23. Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep
my word. And my Father will love him and we will come to him and will
make our abode with him.
14:24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And the word which
you have heard is not mine; but the Father's who sent me.
14:25. These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you.
14:26. But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in
my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind,
whatsoever I shall have said to you.
Teach you all things... Here the Holy Ghost is promised to the apostles
and their successors, particularly, in order to teach them all truth,
and to preserve them from error.
14:27. Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the
world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor
let it be afraid.
14:28. You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto
you. If you loved me you would indeed be glad, because I go to the
Father: for the Father is greater than I.
For the Father is greater than I... It is evident, that Christ our Lord
speaks here of himself as he is made man: for as God he is equal to the
Father. (See Phil. 2.) Any difficulty of understanding the meaning of
these words will vanish, when the relative circumstances of the text
here are considered: for Christ being at this time shortly to suffer
death, signified to his apostles his human nature by these very words:
for as God he could not die. And therefore as he was both God and man,
it must follow that according to his humanity he was to die, which the
apostles were soon to see and believe, as he expresses, ver. 29. And now
I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass,
you may believe.
