^{1 Ref} `I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;

^{2 Ref} every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

^{3 Ref} already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

^{4 Ref} remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

^{5 Ref} `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

^{6 Ref} if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

^{7 Ref} if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

^{8 Ref} `In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

^{9 Ref} According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

^{10 Ref} if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

^{11 Ref} these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

^{12 Ref} `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

^{13 Ref} greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

^{14 Ref} ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

^{15 Ref} no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

^{16 Ref} `Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

^{17 Ref} `These things I command you, that ye love one another;

^{18 Ref} if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

^{19 Ref} if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

^{20 Ref} `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

^{21 Ref} but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

^{22 Ref} if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

^{23 Ref} `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

^{24 Ref} if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

^{25 Ref} but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

^{26 Ref} `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

^{27 Ref} and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

^{1 Ref} I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

^{2 Ref} He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

^{3 Ref} You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.

^{4 Ref} Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

^{5 Ref} I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.

^{6 Ref} If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

^{7 Ref} If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.

^{8 Ref} Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.

^{9 Ref} Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.

^{10 Ref} If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.

^{11 Ref} I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.

^{12 Ref} This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

^{13 Ref} Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

^{14 Ref} You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

^{15 Ref} No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

^{16 Ref} You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

^{17 Ref} So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.

^{18 Ref} If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.

^{19 Ref} If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.

^{20 Ref} Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

^{21 Ref} They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

^{22 Ref} If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

^{23 Ref} He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.

^{24 Ref} If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

^{25 Ref} This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

^{26 Ref} When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father--he will give witness about me;

^{27 Ref} And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.

^{1 Ref} "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

^{2 Ref} Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

^{3 Ref} You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

^{4 Ref} Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

^{5 Ref} I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

^{6 Ref} If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

^{7 Ref} If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

^{8 Ref} "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

^{9 Ref} Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

^{10 Ref} If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.

^{11 Ref} I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

^{12 Ref} "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

^{13 Ref} Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

^{14 Ref} You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

^{15 Ref} No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

^{16 Ref} You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

^{17 Ref} "I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

^{18 Ref} If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

^{19 Ref} If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

^{20 Ref} Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his lord.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

^{21 Ref} But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me.

^{22 Ref} If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

^{23 Ref} He who hates me, hates my Father also.

^{24 Ref} If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

^{25 Ref} But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

^{26 Ref} "When the Counselor{Greek Parakletos: Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, and Comfortor.} has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

^{27 Ref} You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
