耶稣是真葡萄树

15 “我是真葡萄树,我父是培植的人。 所有属我而不结果子的枝子,他就剪去;所有结果子的,他就修剪干净,让它结更多的果子。 现在你们因着我对你们所讲的道,已经干净了。 你们要住在我里面,我也就住在你们里面。枝子若不连在葡萄树上,自己就不能结果子;你们若不住在我里面,也是这样。 我是葡萄树,你们是枝子。住在我里面的,我也住在他里面,他就结出很多果子;因为离开了我,你们就不能作甚么。 人若不住在我里面,就像枝子丢在外面枯干了,人把它们拾起来,丢在火里烧掉了。 你们若住在我里面,我的话也留在你们里面;无论你们想要甚么,祈求,就给你们成就。 这样,你们结出很多果子,我父就因此得荣耀,你们也就是我的门徒了。 父怎样爱我,我也怎样爱你们;你们要住在我的爱里。 10 如果你们遵守我的命令,就必定住在我的爱里,正像我遵守了我父的命令,住在他的爱里一样。

11 “我把这些事告诉了你们,好让我的喜乐存在你们心里,并且使你们的喜乐满溢。 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,人间的爱没有比这个更大的了。 14 你们若行我所吩咐你们的,就是我的朋友了。 15 我不再称你们为仆人,因为仆人不知道主人所作的事;我已经称你们为朋友了,因为我从我父那里听见的一切,都已经告诉你们了。 16 不是你们拣选了我,而是我拣选了你们,并且分派你们去结果子,就是结常存的果子,使你们奉我的名,无论向父求甚么,他必定赐给你们。 17 我把这些事吩咐你们,是要你们彼此相爱。

世人恨主也恨门徒

18 “如果世人恨你们,你们要知道他们在恨你们以先,已经恨我了。 19 你们若属于这世界,世人必定爱属自己的;但因为你们不属于世界,而是我从世界中拣选了你们,所以世人就恨你们。 20 你们要记住我对你们说过的话:‘仆人不能大过主人。’他们若迫害我,也必定迫害你们;他们若遵守我的话,也必定遵守你们的话。 21 但他们因着我的名,要向你们行这一切,因为他们不认识那差我来的。 22 如果我没有来,也没有对他们讲过甚么,他们就没有罪;但现在他们的罪是无可推诿的了。 23 恨我的,也恨我的父。 24 如果我没有在他们中间作过别人没有作过的事,他们就没有罪;但现在我和我的父,他们都看见了,也都恨恶。 25 这就应验了他们律法上所写的话:‘他们无故地恨我。’

26 “我从父那里要差来给你们的保惠师,就是从父那里出来的真理的灵,他来到的时候,要为我作见证。 27 你们也要作见证,因为从开始你们就是跟我在一起的。”

真葡萄树

15 耶稣说:“我是真葡萄树,我父是栽培的人。 属于我的枝子如果不结果子,祂就把它剪掉;如果结果子,祂便修剪它,让它结更多的果子。 我对你们所讲的道已经使你们洁净了。 你们要常在我里面,我就常在你们里面。枝子若离开葡萄树,就不能结果子。同样,你们若不常在我里面,也不能结果子。

“我是葡萄树,你们是枝子。常在我里面的,我也常在他里面,他就会多结果子,因为你们离开了我什么都不能做。 不常在我里面的人就像丢在外面枯干的枝子,最后只有被人拾起来丢在火里烧掉。 如果你们常在我里面,我的话也常在你们里面,无论你们求什么,都会得到应允。 你们多结果子,证明自己是我的门徒,就会给我父带来荣耀。 父怎样爱我,我也怎样爱你们。你们要常在我的爱中。 10 你们若遵守我的命令,就必常在我的爱中,正如我遵守了父的命令,常在父的爱中一样。

11 “我把这些事告诉你们,是要叫你们心里有我的喜乐,让你们的喜乐满溢。 12 你们要彼此相爱,像我爱你们一样,这就是我的命令。 13 为朋友舍命可以说是人间最伟大的爱了。 14 你们如果照我的吩咐去做,就是我的朋友。 15 我不再称你们为奴仆,因为奴仆不知道主人的事。我称你们为朋友,因为我把从父那里听见的一切都告诉了你们。 16 不是你们拣选了我,而是我拣选了你们,并且派你们出去结永存的果子。这样,你们奉我的名无论向父求什么,祂都会赐给你们。 17 我把这些事吩咐你们,是要叫你们彼此相爱。

被世人憎恶

18 “如果世人恨你们,要知道,他们恨你们以前已经恨我了。 19 如果你们属于这个世界,世人一定会爱你们。可是你们不属于这世界,我已经把你们拣选出来,因此世人恨你们。 20 你们要记住我说的话,‘奴仆不能大过主人。’他们若迫害我,也必迫害你们;他们若遵行我的话,也必遵行你们的话。 21 世人将因为我的名而这样对待你们,因为他们不认识差我来的那位。 22 我如果没有来教导他们,他们就没有罪了,但现在他们的罪无可推诿。 23 恨我的,也恨我的父。 24 我如果没有在他们当中行过空前的神迹,他们就没有罪了。然而,他们亲眼看见了,竟然还恨我和我的父。 25 这是要应验他们律法书上的话,‘他们无故地恨我。’

26 “我要从父那里为你们差护慰者来,祂就是从父而来的真理之灵。祂来了要为我做见证。 27 你们也要为我做见证,因为你们从开始就与我在一起。

15 “I am the true Vine, and my Father is the Gardener. He lops off every branch that doesn’t produce. And he prunes those branches that bear fruit for even larger crops. He has already tended you by pruning you back for greater strength and usefulness by means of the commands I gave you. Take care to live in me, and let me live in you. For a branch can’t produce fruit when severed from the vine. Nor can you be fruitful apart from me.

“Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can’t do a thing. If anyone separates from me, he is thrown away like a useless branch, withers, and is gathered into a pile with all the others and burned. But if you stay in me and obey my commands, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted! My true disciples produce bountiful harvests. This brings great glory to my Father.

“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Live within my love. 10 When you obey me you are living in my love, just as I obey my Father and live in his love. 11 I have told you this so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your cup of joy will overflow! 12 I demand that you love each other as much as I love you. 13 And here is how to measure it—the greatest love is shown when a person lays down his life for his friends; 14 and you are my friends if you obey me. 15 I no longer call you slaves, for a master doesn’t confide in his slaves; now you are my friends, proved by the fact that I have told you everything the Father told me.

16 “You didn’t choose me! I chose you! I appointed you to go and produce lovely fruit always, so that no matter what you ask for from the Father, using my name, he will give it to you. 17 I demand that you love each other, 18 for you get enough hate from the world! But then, it hated me before it hated you. 19 The world would love you if you belonged to it; but you don’t—for I chose you to come out of the world, and so it hates you. 20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave isn’t greater than his master!’ So since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you! 21 The people of the world will persecute you because you belong to me, for they don’t know God who sent me.

22 “They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Anyone hating me is also hating my Father. 24 If I hadn’t done such mighty miracles among them they would not be counted guilty. But as it is, they saw these miracles and yet they hated both of us—me and my Father. 25 This has fulfilled what the prophets said concerning the Messiah, ‘They hated me without reason.’

26 “But I will send you the Comforter—the Holy Spirit, the source of all truth. He will come to you from the Father and will tell you all about me. 27 And you also must tell everyone about me because you have been with me from the beginning.
