Bishops Bible 1568
| 14:1 | And he sayde vnto his disciples,] Let not your hearte be troubled: Ye beleue in god, beleue also in me. |
| 14:2 | 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. |
| 14:3 | And yf I go to prepare a place for you, I wyll come agayne, and receaue you, [euen] vnto my selfe: that where I am, there may ye be also. |
| 14:4 | And whither I go, ye knowe, and the way ye knowe. |
| 14:5 | Thomas sayth vnto hym: Lorde, we knowe not whither thou goest: And howe is it possible for vs to knowe the waye? |
| 14:6 | Iesus sayth vnto hym: I am the way, and the trueth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me. |
| 14:7 | If ye had knowen me, ye had knowen my father also. And nowe ye knowe hym, and haue seene hym. |
| 14:8 | Philip sayth vnto hym: Lorde, shewe vs the father, and it suffiseth vs. |
| 14:9 | 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? |
| 14:10 | Beleuest thou not, that 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. |
| 14:11 | Beleue me, that I am in the father, and the father in me: Or els beleue me for the workes sake. |
| 14:12 | Ueryly, 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. |
| 14:13 | And whatsoeuer ye aske in my name, that wyll I do, that the father may be glorified in the sonne. |
| 14:14 | If ye shall aske any thing in my name, I wyll do it. |
| 14:15 | If ye loue me, kepe my commaundementes, |
| 14:16 | And I wyll pray the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he may byde with you for euer: |
| 14:17 | 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 dwelleth with you, and shalbe in you. |
| 14:18 | I wyll not leaue you comfortlesse, but wyll come to you. |
| 14:19 | Yet a litle whyle, and the worlde shall see me no more: but ye shall see me, because I lyue, and ye shall lyue [also.] |
| 14:20 | That day shall ye knowe, that I am in my father, and you in me, & I in you. |
| 14:21 | He that hath my commaundementes, and kepeth them, the same is he that loueth me: And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my father, and I wyll loue him, and wyll shew myne owne selfe to hym. |
| 14:22 | Iudas sayth vnto hym, not [Iudas] Iscariot: Lorde, what is done, that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the worlde? |
| 14:23 | Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: If a man loue me, he wyll kepe my sayinges: and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell with hym. |
| 14:24 | He that loueth me not, kepeth not my sayinges: And the word which ye heare, is not myne, but the fathers which sent me. |
| 14:25 | These thynges haue I spoken vnto you, beyng yet present with you. |
| 14:26 | But the comforter, [which is] the holy ghost, whom the father wyll sende in my name, he shal teach you all thinges, & bryng all thynges to your remebraunce whatsoeuer I haue sayde vnto you. |
| 14:27 | Peace I leaue with you, my peace I geue vnto you: Not as the worlde geueth, geue I vnto you. Let not your heartes be greeued, neither feare. |
| 14:28 | Ye haue hearde howe I sayde vnto you, I go away, and come agayne vnto you. Yf ye loued me, ye woulde veryly reioyce, because I sayde, I go vnto the father: for the father is greater then I. |
| 14:29 | And nowe haue I shewed you before it come, that when it is come to passe, ye myght beleue. |
| 14:30 | Hereafter wyll I not talke many wordes vnto you: For the prince of this worlde cometh, and hath nought in me. |
| 14:31 | But that the worlde may knowe that I loue the father: And as the father gaue me commaundement, euen so do I. Ryse, let vs go hence. |
Bishops Bible 1568
The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
