Who is the prince and what does it intend to describe here :the prince is on the way . He has no power over me?
I shall not talk with you any longer,becaus the prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me, but the world must be brought to know that I love the Father and that I am doing exactly what the Father told me.
John 14:30,31

Am I against the house rule of this post?
What kinds of questions are supposed to be posted here?
Maybe it seems monotonous to you and others but I want to know the meaning or the metaphor.
Do you feel happy to give me such an offensive comment?
Isn't this an answer bank where anyone can use regardless of his knowlege property- the poor or the rich?

You're not breaking any rules,mankak, as far as I know, and you are allowed to ask any question as long as it's decent and legal.
But I do sympathise with wizard69 when he complains of the monotony with which you ask us to interpret weird writings. We have no idea who wrote the gospel of John, for example, so we don't know whether he was a truth-teller or a liar, a historian or a fantasist, a normal bloke or a nut-case. Does it not occur to you that these metaphors may have no meaning of any importance? The Bible is full of strangled prose that can be cheerfully ignored.

Hello mankak. I will try and interpret this for you as it�s not so easy to put in a simplified form. Let me know if you need any more help.
No one on earth and in heaven has more power than Jesus, but for a short time God has allowed Satan, or the devil, limited power here on earth � and is he (Satan) who is known as the �prince of this world� Judas is the one who betrays Jesus to the soldiers and the Pharisees when Satan enters him.
Nothing that happened to Jesus was a surprise, he knew exactly what was ahead of Him � who was going to betray and also deny Him.
The key sentence is John 18 v 4. �Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, �Who is it you want?� He knew � and did it anyway!

In line with cetti's good explanation, you'll find several references to Satan wherein he is called, variously, the prince of this world (John 12:31; 14:30); and the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2) and others. In this case, Yeshua, as explained, knew precisely what is to come. Yeshua has already had other encounters with Satan, including his attempting to entice Ha Massiach to abandon His relationship with the Father as seen in Luke 4:1-13 and elsewhere. It's interesting to see that Yeshua rebuffed him with Scripture only....
