\DeclareFixedFootnote{\fnMone}{MONE ``mah-NAY'' dwelling place, room, abode, residence. Only used in \myxref{\John}{14}{2} and \myxref{\John}{14}{23}.

|
The verb form, MENO ``dwell'' is quite common.
|
|
Compare \myxref{\John}{8}{35} where ``dwell'' is the verb form of ``dwelling-place'' here.

\subsection{\John 14}
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous' Parting Words to His Disciples}
|
|
\lettrine[lraise=0]{L}{et} not your heart be being troubled.
|
|
Be trusting in God and be trusting in me.
|
|
\VS{2} In my father's house[hold]%
|
|
\footnote{Literally ``house'':
|
|
In the Hebrew scriptures and Judaic practice,
|
|
``house'' never means a building per se,
|
|
but always refers to the people who live
|
|
within the care and authority of the father:
|
|
the wife, sons, daughters, slaves, in-laws, grandchildren:
|
|
``So \Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's house,
|
|
`I will go and tell Pharaoh and say to him,
|
|
My brothers and my father's house have come to me' (Gen 46:31).
|
|
(See also Gen 24:38; 28:21; Josh 2:13; Judg 6:15; 9:18; 16:31;
|
|
1Sam 22:15; 2Sam 14:9; 1Chron 28:4)
|
|
This would suggest that the emphasis is on having a permanent place in the Household
|
|
of the Father, being a member of that Great Family.
|
|
\fnPar
|
|
On the other hand, \Iesous uses the phrase ``my father's house''
|
|
in \myxref{\John}{2}{16} to refer to the Temple,
|
|
which \John goes on to reinterpret as \Iesous' body.
|
|
\fnPar
|
|
The only other place where the phrase occurs is
|
|
\myxref{Luke}{16}{27},
|
|
where the rich man asks \Abraam to send \Lazaros ``to my father's house''
|
|
to warn his brothers.}
|
|
are many dwelling-places\fnMone{}.
|
|
If [it were] not [so], I would have told you,
|
|
\VS{3} because I go to prepare [a] place for you.
|
|
And if I go and prepare [a] place for you,
|
|
again do I come and will take you to myself,
|
|
in order that where I am you may be also.
|
|
\VS{4} And where I go you know the way.
|
|
|
|
\VS{5} \Thomas says to him: Lord, we do not know where you are going. How do we know the way?
|
|
\VS{6} \Iesous says to him: I am the way, the truth and the \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{};
|
|
no one comes to the father except through me.
|
|
\VS{7} If you have known me, you will also know my father.\footnote{
|
|
``If you had known me, you would have known my father.'': ABCD; text: \papyrus{66}\sinaiticus{}D*W}
|
|
And from now [on] you know him and have seen him.
|
|
|
|
\VS{8} \Phillip says to him: Lord, show us the father, and it suffices us.
|
|
\VS{9} \Iesous says to him: So much time I am with you and you have not known me, \Phillip?
|
|
The [one] having seen me has seen the father. How do you say: Show us the father?
|
|
\VS{10} Do you not believe that I [am] in the father and the father is in me?
|
|
The words that I say to you [all]\footnote{``you'' is singular in vs.7--8, but changes to plural here.}
|
|
I did not speak from myself, but the father dwelling in me does his works.
|
|
\VS{11} Be trusting\fnPistisJohn{} me that I [am] in the father and the father [is] in me.
|
|
But if not, be believing on account of the works themselves.
|
|
\VS{12} Truly truly I say to you, the [one] trusting in me, the works that I do,
|
|
that [one] also will do, and greater than these will do, because I go to the father.
|
|
\VS{13} And whatever you ask in my name, this will I do,
|
|
in order that the father be glorified in the son.
|
|
\VS{14} If you ask anything [of] me%
|
|
\footnote{
|
|
``of me'' is omitted by ADK \vulgate{}
|
|
}
|
|
in my name, I will do [it].
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Teaching on the Holy Spirit}
|
|
\VS{15} If you agape-love me, you will keep my commandments.
|
|
\VS{16} And I will ask the father and he will give you another advocate\fnParacletos{},
|
|
in order that he be with you to eternity ---
|
|
\VS{17} the spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive,
|
|
because it does not behold him nor know [him].
|
|
You know him, because he dwells with you and will be in you.
|
|
\VS{18} I will not leave you orphans%
|
|
\footnote{could be understood as an idiom for ``leave you helpless''},
|
|
I come to you.
|
|
\VS{19} Yet [a] little [while] and the world\fnKosmos{} no longer beholds me,
|
|
but you behold me, because I \zoe{}-live\fnZoe{} and you will \zoe{}-live\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{20} In that day you will know that I [am] in my father
|
|
and you in me and I in you.
|
|
\VS{21} The [one] having my commandments and keeping them,
|
|
that is the [one] agape-loving me;
|
|
and the [one] agape-loving me will be agape-loved by my father,
|
|
and I will agape-love him and reveal myself to him.
|
|
|
|
\VS{22} \Ioudas says to him: not the \Iscariot,
|
|
Lord, and what has happened that you are [about] to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?
|
|
\VS{23} \Iesous answered and said to him:
|
|
If anyone agape-loves me, he will keep my word\footnote{LOGOS},
|
|
and my father will agape-love him,
|
|
and we will come to him, and we will make our dwelling-place with him.
|
|
\VS{24} The [one] not agape-loving me does not keep to my words\footnote{LOGOS}.
|
|
And the word\footnote{LOGOS} that you hear is not mine but of the father having sent me.
|
|
|
|
\VS{25} These [things] have I spoken while dwelling with you.
|
|
\VS{26} But the advocate\fnParacletos{}, the Holy Spirit,
|
|
which the father will send in my name,
|
|
he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything which I spoke to you.
|
|
|
|
\VS{27} Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,
|
|
not just as the world gives do I give to you.
|
|
Let\fnImperative{} your heart not be being troubled,
|
|
neither let\fnImperative{} it be being cowardly.
|
|
\VS{28} You heard what I said to you: I go, and come [back] to you.
|
|
If you were agape-loving me, you would have rejoiced that I go to the father,
|
|
because the father is greater than I.
|
|
\VS{29} And now have I told you before it comes to pass,
|
|
in order that when it comes to pass, you trust.
|
|
\VS{30} No longer will I speak many [things] with you,
|
|
for the ruler of the world comes and he has \negd{nothing} in me,
|
|
\VS{31} but in order that the world know that I agape-love the father,
|
|
and just as the father commanded me, thus I do.
|
|
Be arising, let us be going from here.
