¹³ Und das Wort Jehovas geschah zu mir also:

¹ Und du, Bethlehem, Ephrata, zu klein, um unter den Tausenden von Juda zu sein, aus dir wird mir hervorkommen, der Herrscher über Israel sein soll; und seine Ausgänge (d. h. Ursprünge) sind von der Urzeit, von den Tagen der Ewigkeit her.

¹⁶ I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,--

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
