rwp @John:14:18 @{I will not leave } (\ouk aph ˆs “\). Future active of \aphi ˆmi \, to send away , to leave behind . {Desolate } (\orphanous \). Old word (\orphos \, Latin _orbus_ ), bereft of parents , and of parents bereft of children . Common in papyri of orphan children . In strkjv @13:33 | Jesus called the disciples \teknia \ (little children ), and so naturally the word means "orphans " here , but the meaning may be "helpless " (without the other Paraclete , the Holy Spirit ). The only other N .T . example is in strkjv @James:1:27 | where it means "fatherless ." {I come } (\erchomai \). Futuristic present as in verse 3 |.
