John 14 - can it be analysed or is it vivisection?

As I read John 14 I am struck by the way that the language is not the meaning it contains the meaning. It is similar to poetry, the words collectively convey more than they do when isolated into individual statements. Does anyone understand what I am getting at?

I have been struck by the way Jesus uses metaphor to convey spiritual truth. The meaning to the more literally minded would be lost while the more literary minded are more likely to perceive what He is aiming at.

Off to re-read "the Bible as Literature by Carson" and see if he has anything on John's Gospel
