| 14:2 | In my fathers house are many mansions: If it were not so, I wolde haue tolde you. I go to prepare a place for you. |
| 14:3 | And yf I go to prepare a place for you, I will come agayne, and receaue you euen vnto my selfe: that wher I am, ther maye ye be also. |
| 14:4 | And whyther I go, ye knowe, and the waye ye knowe. |
| 14:5 | Thomas sayth vnto him: Lord, we knowe not whither thou goest. And how is it possible for vs to knowe the waye? |
| 14:6 | Iesus sayeth vnto hym: I am the waye and the treuth, 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 now ye knowe him, and haue sene hym. |
| 14:8 | Philip sayth vnto hym: Lorde, shewe vs the father, & it suffiseth vs. |
| 14:9 | Iesus sayth vnto hym: haue I bene so longe tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath sene me, hath sene my 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 self: but the father that dwelleth in me is he that doth the workes. |
| 14:11 | Beleue me that I am in the father, & the father in me. Or els beleue me for the worckes sake. |

| 14:13 | And whatsoeuer ye aske in my name, that will I do, that the father maye be glorifyed by the sonne. |
| 14:14 | If ye shall aske any thynge in my name. I will do it. |
| 14:15 | If ye loue me, kepe my commaundementes, |
| 14:16 | & I will praye the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he maye bide wt you for euer: |
| 14:17 | euen the sprete of treuth, whom the world cannot receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth wt you, & shalbe in you. |
| 14:18 | I wyll not leaue you comforteles: but will come to you: |
| 14:19 | Yet a lytell while and the world seeth me nomore: but ye se me. For I lyue, & ye shall lyue. |
| 14:20 | That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father, and you in me, and 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 hym, and wyll shewe myne awne selfe to him. |
| 14:22 | Iudas sayth vnto hym: (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde, what is done that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? |
| 14:23 | Iesus answered & sayd: vnto them: yf a man loue me, he will kepe my sayinges, and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell wt hym. |
| 14:24 | He that loueth me not, kepeth not my sayinges. And the worde which ye heare, is not myne, but the fathers which sent me. |
| 14:25 | These thinges haue I spoken ynto you, being yet present with you. |
| 14:26 | But the comforter which is the holy ghost whom my father wil sende in my name, he shal teach you all thinges, & bryng all thinges to your remembraunce whatsoeuer I haue sayd vnto you. |
| 14:27 | Peace I leaue with you, my peace I geue vnto you. Not as the world geueth, geue I vnto you. Let not youre hertes be greued, nether feare. |
| 14:28 | Ye haue hearde howe I sayde vnto you: I go, and come agayne vnto you. If ye loued me, ye wolde verely reioyse, because I sayd: 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 | Here after wyll I not talke many wordes vnto you. For the prince of this worlde commeth, and hath naught in me. |
| 14:31 | But that the worlde maye knowe that I loue the father. And as the father gaue me commaundment, euen so do I. Ryse, let vs go hence. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
