11 November - John 14-17

Jude Tue Oct 09, 2018 6:27 am

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

JOHN 14

1“Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Elohim, believe also in Me.

2“In My Father’s house are many staying places. And if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I shall come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you might be too.

4“And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

5T’oma said to Him, “Master, we do not know where You are going, and how are we able to know the way?”

6יהושע said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father too. From now on you know Him, and have seen.”

8Philip said to Him, “Master, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

9יהושע said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from Myself. But the Father who stays in Me does His works.

11“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, otherwise believe Me because of the works themselves.

12“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father.

13“And whatever you ask in My Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son.

14“If you ask whatever in My Name, I shall do it.

15“If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.a

16“And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever –

17the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you.

18“I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you.

19“Yet a little while, and the world no longer sees Me, but you shall see Me, because I live, and you shall live.

20“In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

21“He who possesses My commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.”

22Yehuḏah – not the one from Qerioth – said to Him, “Master, what has come about that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him.

24“He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.

25“These Words I have spoken to you while still with you.

26“But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.

27“Peace I leave with you – My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28“You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you did love Me, you would have rejoiced that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

29“And now I have told you before it takes place, that when it does take place, you shall believe.

30“I shall no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming,a and he possesses none at all in Me,

31but, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, and that as the Father commanded Me, so I am doing. Rise up, let us go from here.

JOHN 15

1“I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener.

2“Every branch in Me that bears no fruit He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit He prunes, so that it bears more fruit.

3“You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you.

4“Stay in Me, and I stay in you. As the branch is unable to bear fruit of itself, unless it stays in the vine, so neither you, unless you stay in Me.

5“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who stays in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit. Because without Me you are able to do naught!

6“If anyone does not stay in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7“If you stay in Me, and My Words stay in you, you shall ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.

8“In this My Father is esteemed, that you bear much fruit, and you shall be My taught ones.

9“As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Stay in My love.

10“If you guard My commands, you shall stay in My love,a even as I have guarded My Father’s commands and stay in His love.

11“These words I have spoken to you, so that My joy might be in you, and that your joy might be complete.

12“This is My command, that you love one another, as I have loved you.a

13“No one has greater love than this: that one should lay down his life for his friends.

14“You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

15“No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for all teachings which I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

16“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He might give you.

17“These words I command you, so that you love one another.a

18“If the world hates you, you know 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 chose you out of the world, for that reason the world hates you.

20“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they shall persecute you too. If they have guarded My Word, they would guard yours too.

21“But all this they shall do to you because of My Name, because they do not know Him who sent Me.

22“If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23“He who hates Me hates My Father as well.

24“If I did not do among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin. But now they have both seen and have hated both Me and My Father,

25but...that the word might be filled which was written in their Torah, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’

26“And when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of the Truth, who comes from the Father, He shall bear witness of Me,

27but you also bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

JOHN 16

1“These words I have spoken to you, so that you do not stumble.

2“They shall put you out of the congregations, but an hour is coming when everyone who kills you shall think he is rendering service to Elohim.

3“And this they shall do to you because they did not know the Father, nor Me.

4“But I have said these words to you, so that when the hour comes you remember that I told them to you. And these words I did not say to you at the beginning, for I was with you.

5“But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and not one of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

6“But because I have said these words to you, grief has filled your heart.

7“But I say the truth to you. It is better for you that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you at all, but if I go, I shall send Him to you.

8“And having come, He shall reprovea the world concerning sin,b and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment –

9concerning sin because they do not believe in Me,

10concerning righteousness because I go to My Father and you see Me no more,

11concerning judgment because the ruler of this worlda is judged.

12“I still have many words to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.

13“But when He comes, the Spirit of the Truth, He shall guide you into all the truth. For He shall not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears He shall speak, and He shall announce to you what is to come.

14“He shall esteem Me, for He shall take of what is Mine and announce it to you.

15“All that the Father has is Mine. That is why I said that He takes from what is Mine and announces it to you.

16“A little while, and you do not see Me, and again a little while, and you shall see Me.”

17Therefore some of His taught ones said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while, and you do not see Me, and again a little while, and you shall see Me,’ and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”

18So they said, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is saying.”

19יהושע, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you asking one another about what I said, ‘A little while, and you do not see Me, and again a little while, and you shall see Me’?

20“Truly, truly, I say to you that you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice. And you shall be grieved, but your grief shall become joy.

21“The woman has grief when she is in labour, because her hour has come, but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the affliction, for joy that a man was born into the world.

22“And you, therefore, have grief now, but I shall see you again and your heart shall rejoice, and no one takes your joy away from you.

23“And in that day you shall ask Me none at all. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My Name He shall give you.

24“Until now you have asked naught in My Name. Ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy might be complete.

25“These words I have spoken to you in figures of speech, but an hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I shall declare the Father plainly to you.

26“In that day you shall ask in My Name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father on your behalf,

27for the Father Himself does love you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from Elohim.

28“I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29His taught ones said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and not using figure of speech!

30“Now we know that You know all, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from Elohim.”

31יהושע answered them, “Do you now believe?

32“See, an hour is coming, and has now come, that you are scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

33“These words I have spoken to you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you have pressure, but take courage, I have overcome the world.”

JOHN 17

1יהושע said these words, and lifted up His eyes to the heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Esteem Your Son, so that Your Son also might esteem You,

2as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give everlasting life to all whom You have given Him.

3“And this is everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true Elohim, and יהושע Messiah whom You have sent.

4“I have esteemed You on the earth, having accomplished the work You have given Me that I should do.

5“And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You before the world was.

6“I have revealed Your Name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have guarded Your Word.a

7“Now they have come to know that all You gave to Me, is from You.

8“Because the Words which You gave to Me, I have given to them. And they have received them, and have truly known that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

10“And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I have been esteemed in them.

11“And I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Set-apart Father, guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one,a as We are.

12“When I was with them in the world, I was guarding them in Your Name which You have given Me, and I watched over them, and not one of them perished except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be filled.

13“And now I come to You. And I speak these words in the world, so that they have My joy completed in them.

14“I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

15“I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the wicked one.

16“They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

17“Set them apart in Your truth – Your Word is truth.a

18“As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

19“And for them I set Myself apart, so that they too might be set apart in truth.

20“And I do not pray for these alone, but also for those believing in Me through their word,

21so that they all might be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, so that they too might be one in Us, so that the world might believe that You have sent Me.

22“And the esteem which You gave Me I have given them, so that they might be one as We are one,

23“I in them, and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24“Father, I desire that those whom You have given Me, might be with Me where I am, so that they see My esteem which You have given Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25“O righteous Father, indeed the world did not know You, but I knew You, and these knew that You sent Me.

26“And I have made Your Name known to them, and shall make it known,a so that the love with which You loved Me might be in them, and I in them.”
