The Vine and the Branches
15 “I am(A) the true vine,(B) and my Father is the gardener. 2 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. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.(E) 4 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.
5 “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. 6 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) 7 If you remain in me(I) and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.(J) 8 This is to my Father’s glory,(K) that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.(L)
9 “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)

Chúa Giê-xu ví như cây nho
15 “Ta là gốc nho thật, Cha ta là người trồng vườn. 2 Ngài chặt hết nhánh [a] nào trong ta mà không sinh trái và tỉa sửa những nhánh sinh trái để sai trái [b] hơn. 3 Các con đã được sạch vì lời dạy của ta. 4 Hãy ở trong ta thì ta sẽ ở trong các con. Nhánh nho tự nó không thể sinh trái nếu không gắn liền với cây nho. Cũng vậy, các con không thể sinh trái được, nếu các con không ở trong ta.
5 Ta là cây nho, các con là nhánh. Ai ở trong ta và ta ở trong người ấy thì sai trái. Ở ngoài ta, các con không làm được gì. 6 Ai không ở trong ta thì giống như những nhánh bị ném bỏ rồi chết khô. Người ta gom lại rồi ném vào lửa để chụm.
7 Nếu các con ở trong ta và lời dạy của ta ở trong các con, thì các con có thể cầu xin bất cứ điều gì, sẽ được điều ấy. 8 Các con hãy ra trái thật sai để chứng tỏ là môn đệ ta. Như thế sẽ mang vinh hiển cho Cha ta. 9 Ta yêu các con cũng như Cha đã yêu ta. Các con hãy ở trong tình yêu của ta. 10 Ta đã vâng theo điều dạy bảo của Cha và ở trong tình yêu của Ngài. Cũng vậy, nếu các con vâng theo điều dạy bảo của ta, thì các con sẽ ở trong tình yêu của ta. 11 Ta nói những điều nầy với các con để các con có cùng niềm vui của ta và để cho niềm vui của các con được hoàn toàn. 12 Mệnh lệnh của ta là đây: Các con hãy yêu nhau như ta đã yêu các con. 13 Không có tình yêu nào lớn hơn khi một người hi sinh tính mạng vì bạn mình. 14 Nếu các con vâng theo lời ta truyền dặn thì các con là bạn của ta. 15 Ta không gọi các con là đầy tớ nữa vì đầy tớ không biết điều chủ mình làm. Nhưng ta gọi các con là bạn, vì ta đã bảo cho các con biết tất cả mọi điều ta đã nghe từ Cha. 16 Không phải các con đã chọn ta, mà ta đã chọn các con và giao cho các con công tác đi ra và sinh quả, loại quả còn mãi. Rồi những gì các con nhân danh ta mà cầu xin thì Cha sẽ cho. 17 Đây là mệnh lệnh của ta: Hãy yêu thương nhau.
Chúa Giê-xu bảo trước cho các môn đệ
18 Nếu thế gian ghét các con, thì hãy nhớ rằng thế gian đã ghét ta trước rồi. 19 Nếu các con thuộc về thế gian thì thế gian sẽ yêu những kẻ thuộc về nó. Nhưng vì ta đã tuyển chọn các con từ trong thế gian, nên các con không thuộc về thế gian nữa. Do đó mà thế gian ghét các con. 20 Hãy nhớ điều ta đã bảo: Đầy tớ không thể lớn hơn chủ. Nếu họ ngược đãi ta, thì họ cũng sẽ ngược đãi các con. Nếu họ vâng lời dạy của ta, họ cũng sẽ vâng lời dạy các con. 21 Nhưng họ đối với các con như thế là tại ta, vì họ không biết Đấng sai ta đến. 22 Nếu ta không đến giảng dạy họ thì họ sẽ không phạm tội gì, nhưng bây giờ họ không còn lý lẽ gì để bào chữa tội mình cả. 23 Ai ghét ta cũng ghét Cha ta. 24 Ta làm giữa họ những việc chưa ai làm. Nếu ta không làm những việc ấy thì họ không có lỗi gì. Nhưng nay chính họ đã thấy những việc ta làm mà họ vẫn ghét ta và Cha ta. 25 Như thế để những gì viết trong Luật Lệ họ thành sự thật, ‘Họ ghét ta vô cớ.’ [c]
26 Ta sẽ sai Đấng Trợ Giúp đến từ Cha; Ngài là Thánh Linh của chân lý [d] do Cha mà đến. Khi Ngài đến, Ngài sẽ giải thích về ta cho các con biết 27 và các con cũng phải giải thích về ta cho người khác biết, vì các con đã ở với ta từ đầu.”

King James Version
15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 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.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 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.

I Am the True Vine
15 “I am the (A)true vine, and my Father is (B)the vinedresser. 2 (C)Every branch in me that does not bear fruit (D)he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, (E)that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already (F)you are clean (G)because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 (H)Abide (I)in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; (J)you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that (K)bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, (L)he is thrown away like a branch and withers; (M)and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If (N)you abide in me, and my words abide in you, (O)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 (P)By this my Father is glorified, that you (Q)bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 (R)As the Father has loved me, (S)so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 (T)If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as (U)I have kept (V)my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, (W)that my joy may be in you, and that (X)your joy may be full.
12 (Y)“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 (Z)Greater love has no one than this, (AA)that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are (AB)my friends (AC)if you do what I command you. 15 (AD)No longer do I call you servants,[a] for the servant (AE)does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for (AF)all that I have heard from my Father (AG)I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but (AH)I chose you and appointed you that you should go and (AI)bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that (AJ)whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, (AK)so that you will love one another.
The Hatred of the World
18 (AL)“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 (AM)If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because (AN)you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: (AO)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, (AP)they will also persecute you. (AQ)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But (AR)all these things they will do to you (AS)on account of my name, (AT)because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, (AU)they would not have been guilty of sin,[b] but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 (AV)Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 (AW)If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, (AX)they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have (AY)seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But (AZ)the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: (BA)‘They hated me without a cause.’
26 “But (BB)when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, (BC)he will bear witness about me. 27 And (BD)you also will bear witness, (BE)because you have been with me (BF)from the beginning.
