[unspec A] 1 ANd he sayde vnto his disciples,* 1.1] Let not your hearte be troubled: Ye be∣leue in god, beleue also in me.
2 In my fathers house, are many dwellyng places: If it were not so, I woulde haue tolde you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And yf I go to prepare a place for you, I wyll come agayne, and receaue you, [euen] vnto my selfe: * 1.2 that where I am, there may ye be also.
4 And whither I go, ye knowe, and the way ye knowe.
5 Thomas sayth vnto hym: Lorde, we knowe not whither thou goest: And howe is it possible for vs to knowe the waye?
6 Iesus sayth vnto hym: I am the way, and the trueth, and the * 1.3 lyfe. * 1.4 No man cōmeth vnto the father, but by me.
7 If ye had knowen me, ye had knowen my father also. And nowe ye knowe [unspec B] hym, and haue seene hym.
8 Philip sayth vnto hym: Lorde, shewe vs the father, and it suffiseth vs.
9 Iesus sayth vnto hym: Haue I ben so long tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath seene me, hath seene the father. And howe sayest thou then, shewe vs the father?
10 Beleuest thou not, that * 1.5 I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my selfe: but the father that dwelleth in me, is he that doth the workes.
11 Beleue me, that I am in the father, * 1.6and the father in me: Or els beleue me for the workes sake.
12 Veryly, veryly I say vnto you, he that beleueth on me, the workes that I do, the same shal he do also, and greater workes then these shall he do, because I go vnto the father.
13 * 1.7And whatsoeuer ye aske in my name, that wyll I do, that the father may be glorified in the sonne.
14 If ye shall aske any thing in my name, I wyll do it.☜
15 ☞If ye loue me, kepe my commaun∣dementes,
16 And I wyll pray the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he may byde with you for euer:
17 Euen the spirite of trueth, whom the worlde can not receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, neither knoweth hym. But ye knowe hym: For he dwel∣leth with you, and shalbe in you.
18 * 1.8I wyll not leaue you comfortlesse, but wyll come to you.
19 Yet a litle whyle, and the worlde shall see me no more: but ye shall see me, be∣cause I lyue, and ye shall lyue [also.]
20 That day shall ye knowe, that I am in my father, and you in me, & I in you.
21 * 1.9He that hath my commaundementes, [unspec C] and kepeth them, the same is he that loueth me: And he that loueth me, shal∣be loued of my father, and I wyll loue him, and wyll shew myne owne selfe to hym.
22 * 1.10Iudas sayth vnto hym, not [Iudas] Iscariot: Lorde, what is done, that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the worlde?
23 Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: If a man loue me, he wyll kepe my say∣inges: and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell with hym.
24 He that loueth me not, kepeth not my sayinges: And the word which ye heare, is not myne, but the fathers which sent me.
25 These thynges haue I spoken vnto you, beyng yet present with you.
26 But the comforter, [which is] the holy [unspec D] ghost, * 1.11 whom the father wyll sende in my name, he shal teach you all thinges, & bryng all thynges to your remēbraunce whatsoeuer I haue sayde vnto you.
27 Peace I leaue with you, my peace I geue vnto you: Not as the worlde ge∣ueth, geue I vnto you. Let not your heartes be greeued, neither feare.
28 Ye haue hearde howe I sayde vnto you, I go away, and come agayne vnto
