6.         Keeping the Word

 

Judas (not Iscariot.)

14:22-31

Why show yourself

to us?

the word of me

he will keep

 

14:22 Says to him Judas, not the Iscariot: Lord and what has happened that to us thou art about to manifest thyself and not to the world? 23 Answered Jesus and said to him: If anyone loves me, the word of me he will keep and the Father of me will love him, and to him we will come and abode with him we will make. 24 The one not loving me the words of me keeps not; and the word which ye hear is not mine but of the having sent me Father. 25 These things I have spoken to you with you remaining 26 but the Comforter, the Spirit Holy which will send the Father in the name of me, that one you will teach all things and remind you

of all things which told you I. 27 Peace I leave to you, peace my I give you: not as the world gives I give you. Let not be troubled of you the heart nor let it be fearful. 28 ye heard that I told you: I go and come to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father because the Father greater than me is. 29 And now I have told you before to happen, that when it happens ye may believe. 30 No longer many things I will speak with you. for is coming the of the world ruler: and in me he has not anything. 31 but that ye may know the world that I love the Father and as commanded me the Father so I do. Rise let us go hence.

Paragraph "Hooks" are reasons

1.         because of a "vine/branch" connection

 

15:1-8

1.         I am the vine you the branches (15:5)

15: 1 I am the vine true, and the Father of me the husbandman is. 2 Every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it, and every branch the fruit bearing he prunes it that fruit more it may bear. 3 Now ye clean are because of the word which I have spoken to you: 4 remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot fruit to bear from itself unless it remains in the vine, so not ye unless in me ye remain. 5 I am the vine ye the branches. The one remaining in me and I in him, this one

bears fruit much, because apart from home ye cannot to do anything 6. Unless anyone remains in me, he was cast outside as the branch and was dried, and they gather them and into the fire they cast, and they are burned. 7 If ye remain in me and the words of me in you remains, whatever ye wish ask, and it shall happen to you. 8 By this was glorified the Father of me, that fruit much ye bear and ye will be to me disciples.
