28. Formal Translation You heard that I {Iesous, Departing Lord} told you, “I am going away, and I am coming to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the Father {Pater, Supreme Father}, because the Father is greater than I.” |
28. Dynamic Translation You heard Me {Iesous, Comforting Lord} tell you, “I am leaving, and I am coming back to you. If you loved Me, you would be glad because I am going to the Father {Pater, Welcoming Father}, because the Father is greater than I.” |
