Chapter 15
The true vine
1
‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
2
Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more.
3
You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you.
4
Make your home in me, as I make mine in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, but must remain part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.
5
I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing.
6
Anyone who does not remain in me is like a branch that has been thrown away – he withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire, and they are burnt.
7
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask what you will and you shall get it.
8
It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit, and then you will be my disciples.
9
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love,
10
If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11
I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.
12
This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you.
13
A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends.
14
You are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15
I shall not call you servants any more, because a servant does not know his master’s business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father.
16
You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; and then the Father will give you anything you ask him in my name.
17
What I command you is to love one another.
The hostile world
18
‘If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before you.
19
If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong to the world, because my choice withdrew you from the world, therefore the world hates you.
20
Remember the words I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too; if they kept my word, they will keep yours as well.
21
But it will be on my account that they will do all this, because they do not know the one who sent me.
22
If I had not come, if I had not spoken to them, they would have been blameless; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin.
23
Anyone who hates me hates my Father.
24
If I had not performed such works among them as no one else has ever done, they would be blameless; but as it is, they have seen all this, and still they hate both me and my Father.
25
But all this was only to fulfil the words written in their Law: They hated me for no reason.[*a]
26
When the Advocate comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who issues from the Father, he will be my witness.
27
And you too will be witnesses, because you have been with me from the outset.
