John the Evangelist, from the Rabbula Gospels, c6th century CE
Knowing your strength: Elaine Miles reads from the gospel of John
‘Jesus believed in personal responsibility.’
The authorised version of the New Testament of 1611 translates John 14: 16-18 as ‘And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter’. It then uses the word ‘comfortless’ in verse 18.
