主是真葡萄树

15 “我是真葡萄树,我父是栽培的人。 凡属我不结果子的枝子,他就剪去;凡结果子的,他就修理干净,使枝子结果子更多。 现在你们因我讲给你们的道,已经干净了。 你们要常在我里面,我也常在你们里面。枝子若不常在葡萄树上,自己就不能结果子;你们若不常在我里面,也是这样。 我是葡萄树,你们是枝子。常在我里面的,我也常在他里面,这人就多结果子;因为离了我,你们就不能做什么。 人若不常在我里面,就像枝子丢在外面枯干,人拾起来扔在火里烧了。 你们若常在我里面,我的话也常在你们里面,凡你们所愿意的,祈求,就给你们成就。 你们多结果子,我父就因此得荣耀,你们也就是我的门徒了。

当效法主的爱

“我爱你们,正如父爱我一样,你们要常在我的爱里。 10 你们若遵守我的命令,就常在我的爱里,正如我遵守了我父的命令,常在他的爱里。 11 这些事我已经对你们说了,是要叫我的喜乐存在你们心里,并叫你们的喜乐可以满足。 12 你们要彼此相爱,像我爱你们一样,这就是我的命令。 13 人为朋友舍命,人的爱心没有比这个大的。 14 你们若遵行我所吩咐的,就是我的朋友了。 15 以后我不再称你们为仆人,因仆人不知道主人所做的事。我乃称你们为朋友,因我从父所听见的,已经都告诉你们了。 16 不是你们拣选了我,是我拣选了你们,并且分派你们去结果子,叫你们的果子常存,使你们奉我的名无论向父求什么,他就赐给你们。 17 我这样吩咐你们,是要叫你们彼此相爱。

恨主者必恨信主的

18 “世人若恨你们,你们知道[a],恨你们以先已经恨我了。 19 你们若属世界,世界必爱属自己的。只因你们不属世界,乃是我从世界中拣选了你们,所以世界就恨你们。 20 你们要记念我从前对你们所说的话:‘仆人不能大于主人。’他们若逼迫了我,也要逼迫你们;若遵守了我的话,也要遵守你们的话。 21 但他们因我的名要向你们行这一切的事,因为他们不认识那差我来的。 22 我若没有来教训他们,他们就没有罪,但如今他们的罪无可推诿了。 23 恨我的,也恨我的父。 24 我若没有在他们中间行过别人未曾行的事,他们就没有罪;但如今连我与我的父,他们也看见也恨恶了。 25 这要应验他们律法上所写的话说:‘他们无故地恨我。’ 26 但我要从父那里差保惠师来,就是从父出来真理的圣灵;他来了,就要为我作见证。 27 你们也要作见证,因为你从起头就与我同在。

  1. 约翰福音 15:18 或作:该知道。

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。”

  1. 約 翰 福 音 15:5 枝条: 即耶稣的信徒。

15 “I am the true Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

“Every branch that does not bear fruit in Me, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it, so that it may bring forth more fruit.

“Now, you are clean, through the Word which I have spoken to you.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

“I am the Vine. You are the branches. Whoever abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit. For without Me, you can do nothing.

“If one does not abide in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and withers. And they are gathered up and cast into the fire, and they burn.

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask what you will and it shall be done to you.

“In this My Father is glorified, so that you bear much fruit and are made My disciples.

“As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Continue in My love.

10 “If you shall keep My Commandments, you shall abide in My love (as I have kept My Father’s Commandments and abide in His love).

11 “These things I have spoken to you, so that My joy might remain in you and that your joy might be full.

12 “This is My Commandment: that you love one another, as I have loved you.

13 “No one has greater love than this: when he lays down his life for his friends.

14 “You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.

15 “I no longer call you servants. For the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends. For all things that I have heard from My Father, I have made known to you.

16 “You have not chosen Me. But I have chosen you, and ordained you, so that you go and bring forth fruits and that your fruit remains, so that whatever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.

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

18 “If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before you.

19 “If you were of the world, the world would love his own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

20 “Remember the Word that I said to you, ‘the servant is not greater than his master’. If they have persecuted Me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept My Word, they will also keep yours.

21 “But all these things they will do to you for My Name’s sake, because they have not known Him who sent Me.

22 “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin. But now they have no cloak for their sin.

23 “Whoever hates Me, hates My Father also.

24 “If I had not done works among those whom no other did, they would not have sin. Now, however, they have both seen and hated both My Father and Me.

25 But this is so the Word which is written in their Law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated Me without a cause’.

26 “But when that Comforter shall come, Whom I will send to you from the Father (even the Spirit of Truth, Who proceeds from the Father) He shall testify of Me.

27 “And you also shall witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.”

Jesus the True Vine

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean through the word which I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, neither can you, unless you remain in Me.

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing. If a man does not remain in Me, he is thrown out as a branch and withers. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

“As the Father loved Me, I also loved you. Remain in My love. 10 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 I have spoken these things to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment: that you love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 I no longer call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I have heard from My Father have I made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name. 17 This I command you: that you love one another.

The World’s Hatred

18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, the world therefore hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My words, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 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 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not performed among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin. But now have they seen and hated both My Father and Me. 25 But that the word which is written in their law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’[a]

26 “But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me. 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
