John 15:1-8

New American Standard Bible

Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches

15 “^(A)I am the true vine, and My Father is the ^(B)vinedresser. ²Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He ^[a]prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. ³^(C)You are already ^[b]clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴^(D)Remain in Me, ^[c]and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit ^[d]of itself ^[e]but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. ⁵I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him ^[f]^(E)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. ⁶If anyone does not remain in Me, he is ^(F)thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, ^(G)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸My ^(H)Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so ^[g]^(I)prove to be My disciples.

John 17

New American Standard Bible

The High Priestly Prayer

17 Jesus spoke these things; and ^(A)raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; ^(B)glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You, ²just as ^(C)You gave Him authority over all ^[a]mankind, so that ^[b]^(D)to all whom You have given Him, ^(E)He may give eternal life. ³And this is eternal life, that they may know You, ^(F)the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom ^(G)You have sent. ⁴^(H)I glorified You on the earth ^[c]^(I)by accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do. ⁵And now You, Father, ^(J)glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had ^(K)with You before the world existed.

⁶“^(L)I have revealed Your name to the men whom ^(M)You gave Me out of the world; they were ^(N)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have ^(O)followed Your word. ⁷Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; ⁸for ^(P)the words which You gave Me ^(Q)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ^(R)I came forth from You, and they believed that ^(S)You sent Me. ⁹^(T)I ask on their behalf; ^(U)I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom ^(V)You have given Me, because ^(W)they are Yours; ¹⁰and ^(X)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. ¹¹I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet ^(Y)they themselves are in the world, and ^(Z)I am coming to You. ^(AA)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name ^(AB)which You have given Me, so that ^(AC)they may be one just as We are. ¹²While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, ^(AD)which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and ^(AE)not one of them perished except ^(AF)the ^[d]son of destruction, so that the ^(AG)Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

¹³But now ^(AH)I am coming to You; and ^(AI)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ^(AJ)joy made full in themselves. ¹⁴I have given them Your word; and ^(AK)the world has hated them because ^(AL)they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁵I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from ^[e]^(AM)the evil one. ¹⁶^(AN)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁷^(AO)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. ¹⁸Just as ^(AP)You sent Me into the world, ^(AQ)I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹And for their sakes I ^(AR)sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be ^(AS)sanctified ^(AT)in truth.

²⁰“I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, ²¹that they may all be one; ^(AU)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, ^(AV)so that the world may ^[f]believe that ^(AW)You sent Me.

Disciples’ Future Glory

²²The ^(AX)glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; ²³^(AY)I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected ^[g]in unity, so that the world may ^[h]know that ^(AZ)You sent Me, and You ^(BA)loved them, just as You loved Me. ²⁴Father, I desire that ^(BB)they also, whom You have given Me, ^(BC)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My ^(BD)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before ^(BE)the foundation of the world.

²⁵“^(BF)Righteous Father, ^[i]although ^(BG)the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that ^(BH)You sent Me; ²⁶and ^(BI)I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that ^(BJ)the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
