主是真葡萄樹

15 「我是真葡萄樹,我父是栽培的人。 凡屬我不結果子的枝子,他就剪去;凡結果子的,他就修理乾淨,使枝子結果子更多。 現在你們因我講給你們的道,已經乾淨了。 你們要常在我裡面,我也常在你們裡面。枝子若不常在葡萄樹上,自己就不能結果子;你們若不常在我裡面,也是這樣。 我是葡萄樹,你們是枝子。常在我裡面的,我也常在他裡面,這人就多結果子;因為離了我,你們就不能做什麼。 人若不常在我裡面,就像枝子丟在外面枯乾,人拾起來扔在火裡燒了。 你們若常在我裡面,我的話也常在你們裡面,凡你們所願意的,祈求,就給你們成就。 你們多結果子,我父就因此得榮耀,你們也就是我的門徒了。

當效法主的愛

「我愛你們,正如父愛我一樣,你們要常在我的愛裡。 10 你們若遵守我的命令,就常在我的愛裡,正如我遵守了我父的命令,常在他的愛裡。 11 這些事我已經對你們說了,是要叫我的喜樂存在你們心裡,並叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。 12 你們要彼此相愛,像我愛你們一樣,這就是我的命令。 13 人為朋友捨命,人的愛心沒有比這個大的。 14 你們若遵行我所吩咐的,就是我的朋友了。 15 以後我不再稱你們為僕人,因僕人不知道主人所做的事。我乃稱你們為朋友,因我從父所聽見的,已經都告訴你們了。 16 不是你們揀選了我,是我揀選了你們,並且分派你們去結果子,叫你們的果子常存,使你們奉我的名無論向父求什麼,他就賜給你們。 17 我這樣吩咐你們,是要叫你們彼此相愛。

恨主者必恨信主的

18 「世人若恨你們,你們知道[a],恨你們以先已經恨我了。 19 你們若屬世界,世界必愛屬自己的。只因你們不屬世界,乃是我從世界中揀選了你們,所以世界就恨你們。 20 你們要記念我從前對你們所說的話:『僕人不能大於主人。』他們若逼迫了我,也要逼迫你們;若遵守了我的話,也要遵守你們的話。 21 但他們因我的名要向你們行這一切的事,因為他們不認識那差我來的。 22 我若沒有來教訓他們,他們就沒有罪,但如今他們的罪無可推諉了。 23 恨我的,也恨我的父。 24 我若沒有在他們中間行過別人未曾行的事,他們就沒有罪;但如今連我與我的父,他們也看見也恨惡了。 25 這要應驗他們律法上所寫的話說:『他們無故地恨我。』 26 但我要從父那裡差保惠師來,就是從父出來真理的聖靈;他來了,就要為我作見證。 27 你們也要作見證,因為你從起頭就與我同在。

耶稣犹如葡萄藤

15 耶稣说∶“我是真正的葡萄藤,我父是园丁, 他砍掉我身上所有不结果的枝条,精心修剪所有结果的枝条,以便让它结得更多。 因为我给了你们的教导,你们已经干净了。 要继续在我之中,我就会继续在你们之中。就像当枝条离开葡萄藤,就结不出果实一样,除非你们在我之中,否则,就不能结果。”

“我是葡萄藤,你们是枝条 [a],人若在我之中,我也在他之中,这样,这个人才会多结果实;离开我,你们将一事无成。 不在我之中的人,就像被扔掉的枝条一样枯死,然后,被人捡起投进火里烧掉。”

“你们如果继续在我之中,我的教导也继续在你们之中,那么,不论你们有什么样的愿望,都会如愿以偿。 你们结出的硕果,使我父得到荣耀,表明你们是我的门徒。 正如父爱我一样,我也爱你们。你们要继续在我的爱之中。 10 如果你们服从我的命令,就将继续在我的爱之中,正如我服从了父的命令,继续在他的爱之中一样。 11 我告诉你们这些,是让我的欢欣留在你们心中,使你们的欢欣完整。 12 这是我的命令:正如我爱你们一样,你们要彼此相爱, 13 没有哪种爱比为朋友献出生命更伟大了。 14 你们如果听从我的指挥,就是我的朋友。 15 我就不再叫你们‘仆人’了,因为仆人不知道主人在做什么,相反,我叫你们‘朋友’,因为我把从父那里听到的一切,都告诉你们了。 16 并不是你们选择了我,而是我选择了你们。我交给了你们这个任务:去结出不朽的果实。那么,不论你们以我的名义要求什么,父都会赐给你们的。 17 这是我对你们的要求:你们要彼此相爱。”

耶稣警告他的门徒

18 “如果世人恨你们,你们要记住,他们首先憎恨我。 19 如果你们属于这个世界,这个世界就会像爱自己一样爱你们。但是,你们不属于这个世界,因为,我从这个世界里挑选了你们,所以,这个世界憎恨你们。 20 记住我告诉你们的话,‘仆人不会比主人伟大,’如果他们迫害我,那么,他们也会迫害你们。如果他们遵从我的教导,那么,他们也会遵从你们的教导。 21 他们这样对待你们,是因为我的缘故,因为,他们不知道派我来的那位。 22 如果我没来教导过他们,他们就没有罪,但是现在,他们没有为罪过开脱的借口。 23 恨我的人,就是在恨我父。 24 如果我没有在他们面前做那些前人从未做过的事,他们就没有罪。然而他们目睹了这一切,却仍然憎恨我和我父。 25 这一切正应验了他们律法中的话∶‘他们毫无理由地恨我。’”

26 “从父那里的助手到来之后,他(来自父亲那里的真理之灵)会为我作证。 27 你们也要为我作证,因为,你们一开始就同我在一起。”

The Vine and the Branches

15 “I am(A) the true vine,(B) and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,(C) while every branch that does bear fruit(D) he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.(E) Remain in me, as I also remain in you.(F) No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;(G) apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.(H) If you remain in me(I) and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.(J) This is to my Father’s glory,(K) that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.(L)

“As the Father has loved me,(M) so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands,(N) you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.(O) 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.(P) 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.(Q) 14 You are my friends(R) if you do what I command.(S) 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.(T) 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you(U) so that you might go and bear fruit(V)—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.(W) 17 This is my command: Love each other.(X)

The World Hates the Disciples

18 “If the world hates you,(Y) keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you(Z) out of the world. That is why the world hates you.(AA) 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b](AB) If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.(AC) If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name,(AD) for they do not know the one who sent me.(AE) 22 If I had not come and spoken to them,(AF) they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.(AG) 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did,(AH) they would not be guilty of sin.(AI) As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law:(AJ) ‘They hated me without reason.’[c](AK)

The Work of the Holy Spirit

26 “When the Advocate(AL) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father(AM)—the Spirit of truth(AN) who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.(AO) 27 And you also must testify,(AP) for you have been with me from the beginning.(AQ)

  3. John 15:25 Psalms 35:19; 69:4

15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
