New Testament
| 14:1 | "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. |
| 14:2 | In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. |
| 14:3 | And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and I will receive you unto Myself; so that where I am, there you may be also. |
| 14:4 | And where I am going you know, and the way you know." |
| 14:5 | Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" |
| 14:6 | Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. |
| 14:7 | "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now [on] you know Him and you have seen Him." |
| 14:8 | Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." |
| 14:9 | Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He that has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? |
| 14:10 | Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak on My own [authority]; but the Father who abides in Me does the works. |
| 14:11 | Believe Me that I [am] in the Father and the Father [is ]in Me, but if not, believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. |
| 14:12 | "Most assuredly I say to you, he that believes in Me, the works which I do he will do also; and greater [works] than these he will do, because I go to My Father. |
| 14:13 | And whatever you may ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. |
| 14:14 | If you should ask anything in My name, I will do [it]. |
| 14:15 | "If you love Me, keep My commandments. |
| 14:16 | And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may abide with you forever, |
| 14:17 | the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you. |
| 14:18 | I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you. |
| 14:19 | "Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. |
| 14:20 | In that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. |
| 14:21 | He that has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him." |
| 14:22 | Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, and what has happened that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" |
| 14:23 | Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and we will make [Our] home with him. |
| 14:24 | He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. |
| 14:25 | "These things I have spoken to you while I remain. |
| 14:26 | But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and will remind you [of] all things which I said to you. |
| 14:27 | Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. |
| 14:28 | You have heard that I said to you, 'I am going away and coming [back] to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I. |
| 14:29 | And now I have told you before it happens, so that whenever it may happen, you may believe. |
| 14:30 | I will no longer speak many things with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. |
| 14:31 | But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has charged Me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go from here. |
English Majority Text Version
PREFACE
Welcome to the third edition of The English Majority Text Version (EMTV) of the Holy Bible. This latest edition has Greek explanatory notes throughout the Bible, to aid the reader in understanding the meanings in some select places of the original Koine Greek. Also, the third edition finds itself closer to the Robinson/Pierpoint printed edition of the Byzantine majority text, rather than the Hodges/Farstad text, which the EMTV was translated from. You will notice these differences in John 7:53-8:11, as well as the entire book of Revelation.
The English Majority Text Version draws from the work of both Dr.’s Hodges and Farstad, and their text, “The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text,” as well as from Dr. Wilbur Pickering, ThM. PhD., and the EMTV has incorporated his hard work in the field of producing evidence of just what does constitute a majority reading, and, as a result of his work, and the work of others, John 7:53-8:11, and the book of Revelation reflect these variant readings. This is one of the great things about having a Bible that is translated from the majority of the trustworthy Byzantine manuscripts that are in existence—the much greater probability of accuracy.
On the other side of the fence, most modern Bibles are translated from a few scant manuscripts (literally), and more often than not they do not even agree with each other. Not so with a Bible that is translated out of the majority! The experts in linguistics who have put these readings together, and diligently compared the manuscripts, had hundreds and hundreds of manuscripts to compare. It is my prayer that this work will bring honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to our God and Father; because all of this, all that we do, we do to know Him better, and to better understand His word, which He has given to mankind. “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. (Prove 30:5,6). Peace of Christ to you all. In His service, Paul W Esposito Stauros Ministries
