{I will not leave} (ouk aph(8873)(935c)). Future active of
aphi(886d)i, 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 13:33 Jesus called the disciples eknia
(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
Jas 1:27 where it means "fatherless." {I come} (erchomai).
Futuristic present as in verse 3 .
