15 “ I egō am eimi the ho true alēthinos vine ampelos, · ho and kai · ho my egō Father patēr is eimi the ho vine-grower geōrgos. ² Every pas branch klēma in en me egō that bears pherō no mē fruit karpos he cuts airō off , but kai every pas branch that does bear pherō · ho fruit karpos he prunes kathairō, so hina that it may bear pherō more polys fruit karpos. ³ By this time ēdē you hymeis are eimi clean katharos because dia of the ho message logos that hos I have spoken laleō to you hymeis. ⁴ Abide menō in en me egō and I kagō will abide in en you hymeis. Just kathōs as the ho branch klēma is not ou able dynamai to bear pherō fruit karpos by apo itself heautou, unless ean mē it abides menō in en the ho vine ampelos, so houtōs neither oude can you hymeis unless ean mē you abide menō in en me egō. ⁵ I egō am eimi the ho vine ampelos; you hymeis are the ho branches klēma. The ho one who abides menō in en me egō and kagō I in en him autos bears pherō much polys fruit karpos, for hoti apart chōris from me egō you can dynamai do poieō nothing oudeis. ⁶ If ean anyone tis does not mē abide menō in en me egō, he is like hōs a branch klēma that is thrown ballō away exō · ho and kai withers xērainō; · kai men gather synagō them autos and kai throw ballō them into eis the ho fire pyr, and kai they are burned kaiō. ⁷ If ean you abide menō in en me egō and kai · ho my egō words rhēma abide menō in en you hymeis, ask aiteō whatever hos ean you wish thelō and kai it will be done ginomai for you hymeis. ⁸ My egō Father patēr is glorified doxazō in en this houtos, · ho that hina you bear pherō much polys fruit karpos and kai become ginomai my emos disciples mathētēs. ⁹ As kathōs the ho Father patēr has loved agapaō me egō, I have agapaō also kagō loved agapaō you hymeis; abide menō in en · ho my emos love agapē. · ho ¹⁰ If ean you keep tēreō · ho my egō commandments entolē, you will abide menō in en · ho my egō love agapē, just kathōs as I egō have kept tēreō · ho my egō Father’ s patēr commandments entolē · ho and kai abide menō in en his autos · ho love agapē. ¹¹ These houtos things I have spoken laleō to you hymeis, that hina · ho my emos joy chara · ho may be eimi in en you hymeis and kai that · ho your hymeis joy chara may be complete plēroō.

¹² “ This houtos is eimi · ho my emos commandment entolē: · ho Love agapaō one allēlōn another , as kathōs I have loved agapaō you hymeis. ¹³ Greater megas love agapē has echō no one oudeis than this houtos, that hina a person tis lays down tithēmi · ho his autos life psychē for hyper · ho his autos friends philos. ¹⁴ You hymeis are eimi my egō friends philos if ean you do poieō the things hos I egō command entellō you hymeis. ¹⁵ No ouketi longer do I call legō you hymeis servants, for hoti a ho servant does not ou know oida what tis his autos master kyrios is doing poieō; · ho but de I have called legō you hymeis friends philos, because hoti all pas that hos I have heard akouō from para · ho my egō Father patēr I have made known gnōrizō to you hymeis. ¹⁶ You hymeis did eklegomai not ou choose eklegomai me egō, but alla I egō chose eklegomai you hymeis and kai appointed tithēmi you hymeis that hina you hymeis should go hypagō and kai bear pherō fruit karpos and kai that · ho your hymeis fruit karpos should remain menō, so hina that the ho Father patēr may give didōmi you hymeis whatever hos tis you ask aiteō in en · ho my egō name onoma. ¹⁷ These houtos things I command entellō you hymeis, so hina that you may love agapaō one allēlōn another .

¹⁸ “ If ei the ho world kosmos hates miseō you hymeis, be aware ginōskō that hoti it has hated miseō me egō before prōton it hated you hymeis. ¹⁹ If ei you belonged eimi to ek the ho world kosmos, the ho world kosmos would an love you phileō as · ho its idios own ; but de because hoti you do eimi not ou belong eimi to ek the ho world kosmos, but alla I egō chose eklegomai you hymeis out ek of the ho world kosmos, for dia this houtos reason the ho world kosmos hates miseō you hymeis. ²⁰ Remember mnēmoneuō the ho saying logos that hos I egō told legō you hymeis, ‘The servant is eimi not ou greater megas than ho his autos master kyrios.’ If ei they have persecuted diōkō me egō, they will diōkō also kai persecute diōkō you hymeis; if ei they have kept tēreō · ho my egō word logos, they will keep tēreō yours hymeteros as kai well . · ho ²¹ But alla all pas these houtos things they will do poieō to eis you hymeis on dia account of · ho my egō name onoma, because hoti they do not ou know oida the ho one who sent pempō me egō. ²² If ei I had not mē come erchomai and kai spoken laleō to them autos, they would echō not ou be guilty of echō sin hamartia; but de now nyn they have echō no ou excuse prophasis for peri · ho their autos sin hamartia. ²³ The ho one who hates miseō me egō hates miseō my egō Father patēr also kai. · ho ²⁴ If ei I had poieō not mē done poieō among en them autos the ho works ergon that hos no oudeis one else allos had done poieō, they would echō not ou be guilty of echō sin hamartia; but de now nyn · kai they have seen horaō the works and kai have hated miseō both kai me egō and kai · ho my egō Father patēr. ²⁵ However alla, the ho word logos that ho is written graphō in en their autos law nomos had to be fulfilled plēroō: · ho ‘ They hated miseō me egō without dōrean a cause .’

²⁶ “But when hotan the ho Paraclete paraklētos comes erchomai, whom hos I egō will send pempō to you hymeis from para the ho Father patēr, the ho Spirit pneuma of ho truth alētheia who hos comes forth ekporeuomai from para the ho Father patēr, he ekeinos will bear witness martyreō about peri me egō. ²⁷ And de you hymeis also kai are to bear witness martyreō because hoti you have been eimi with meta me egō from apo the beginning archē.

16 “ I have told laleō you hymeis these houtos things so hina that you will not mē fall skandalizō away . ² They will put poieō you hymeis out aposynagōgos of the synagogues ; indeed alla, the hour hōra is coming erchomai when hina anyone pas who ho kills apokteinō you hymeis will think dokeō he is offering prospherō a service latreia to ho God theos. ³ And kai these houtos things they will do poieō because hoti they have not ou known ginōskō the ho Father patēr nor oude me egō. ⁴ But alla I have said laleō these houtos things to you hymeis so hina that when hotan their autos hour hōra comes erchomai · ho you will remember mnēmoneuō that hoti I egō told legō you hymeis about legō them autos. “ I did legō not ou tell legō you hymeis these houtos things · de at ek the start archē because hoti I was eimi with meta you hymeis. ⁵ But de now nyn I am going hypagō away to pros the ho one who sent pempō me egō, and kai none oudeis of ek you hymeis asks erōtaō me egō, ‘ Where pou are you going hypagō?’ ⁶ But alla because hoti I have told laleō you hymeis these houtos things , · ho sorrow lypē has filled plēroō your hymeis · ho heart kardia. ⁷ Nevertheless alla I egō am telling legō you hymeis the ho truth alētheia; it is to your hymeis advantage sympherō that hina I egō am going aperchomai away . For gar if ean I do not mē go aperchomai away , the ho Paraclete paraklētos will not ou come erchomai to pros you hymeis; but de if ean I go poreuō away , I will send pempō him autos to pros you hymeis. ⁸ And kai he ekeinos, when he comes erchomai, will convict elenchō the ho world kosmos in peri regard to sin hamartia and kai righteousness dikaiosynē and kai judgment krisis: ⁹ in regard peri to sin hamartia, because hoti they do not ou believe pisteuō in eis me egō; ¹⁰ in peri regard to righteousness dikaiosynē, · de because hoti I am going away hypagō to pros the ho Father patēr, and kai you will see theōreō me egō no ouketi longer ; ¹¹ in peri regard to · de judgment krisis, because hoti the ho ruler archōn of ho this houtos world kosmos has been condemned krinō.

¹² “ I have echō many polys more eti things to say legō to you hymeis, but alla you cannot ou bear bastazō them now arti. ¹³ But de when hotan he ekeinos, the ho Spirit pneuma of ho truth alētheia, comes erchomai, he will guide hodēgeō you hymeis into en · ho all pas truth alētheia, for gar he will not ou speak laleō on apo his own heautou, but alla will speak laleō only what hosos he hears akouō, and kai he will tell anangellō you hymeis things ho yet to come erchomai. ¹⁴ He ekeinos will glorify doxazō me egō, for hoti he will receive lambanō what is mine ek · ho and kai tell anangellō it to you hymeis. ¹⁵ All pas that hosos the ho Father patēr has echō is eimi mine emos; that is why dia I said legō that hoti he will take lambanō what is mine ek · ho and kai declare anangellō it to you hymeis.

¹⁶ “A little mikros while and kai you will no ouketi longer see theōreō me egō, and kai again palin a little mikros while and kai you will see horaō me egō.” ¹⁷ Some ek of ho his autos disciples mathētēs therefore oun said legō to pros one allēlōn another , “ What tis is eimi this houtos that hos he is saying legō to us hēmeis, ‘A little mikros while and kai you will not ou see theōreō me egō, and kai again palin a little mikros while and kai you will see horaō me egō’ and kai, ‘ Because hoti I am going hypagō to pros the ho Father patēr’?” ¹⁸ So oun they kept saying legō, “ What tis is eimi this houtos ‘ little while mikros’ of which hos he speaks legō? · ho We do not ou understand oida what tis he is talking laleō about .” ¹⁹ Jesus Iēsous knew ginōskō · ho that hoti they wanted thelō to question erōtaō him autos, so kai he said legō to them autos, “ Are you deliberating zēteō with meta one another allēlōn about peri this houtos— that hoti I said legō, ‘A little mikros while and kai you will not ou see theōreō me egō, and kai again palin a little mikros while and kai you will see horaō me egō’? ²⁰ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn truth amēn, you hymeis will weep klaiō and kai wail thrēneō, and de the ho world kosmos will rejoice chairō; you hymeis will be sorrowful lypeō, but alla · ho your hymeis sorrow lypē will be ginomai turned into eis joy chara. ²¹ When hotan a ho woman gynē is giving birth tiktō, she has echō sorrow lypē because hoti her autos hour hōra has come erchomai; · ho but de when hotan the ho baby paidion is born gennaō, she no ouketi longer remembers mnēmoneuō the ho anguish thlipsis, because dia of the ho joy chara that hoti a child anthrōpos has been born gennaō into eis the ho world kosmos. ²² · kai So oun for now nyn you hymeis have echō sorrow lypē; but de I will see horaō you hymeis again palin, and kai your hymeis heart kardia will rejoice chairō, · ho and kai no one oudeis will take airō · ho your hymeis joy chara from apo you hymeis. ²³ · kai On en that ekeinos · ho day hēmera you will question erōtaō me egō about erōtaō nothing oudeis. I tell legō you hymeis the solemn truth amēn: whatever an tis you ask aiteō of the ho Father patēr in en · ho my egō name onoma he will give didōmi to you hymeis. ²⁴ Up till heōs now arti you have asked aiteō for nothing oudeis in en · ho my egō name onoma. Ask aiteō, and kai you will receive lambanō, that hina · ho your hymeis joy chara may be eimi complete plēroō.

²⁵ “ I have told laleō you hymeis these houtos things using en veiled paroimia language . The hour hōra is coming erchomai when hote I will laleō no ouketi longer speak laleō to you hymeis in en veiled paroimia language but alla will tell apangellō you hymeis plainly parrēsia about peri the ho Father patēr. ²⁶ In en that ekeinos · ho day hēmera you will ask aiteō in en · ho my egō name onoma. · kai I am not ou saying legō to you hymeis that hoti I egō will intercede erōtaō with the ho Father patēr on your hymeis behalf peri; ²⁷ for gar the ho Father patēr himself autos loves phileō you hymeis, because hoti you hymeis have loved phileō me egō and kai have come to believe pisteuō that hoti I egō came forth exerchomai from para · ho God theos. ²⁸ I came exerchomai forth from para the ho Father patēr and kai have entered erchomai into eis the ho world kosmos; now palin I am leaving aphiēmi the ho world kosmos and kai going poreuō back to pros the ho Father patēr.”

²⁹ His autos disciples mathētēs said legō, · ho “ Ah ide, now nyn you are speaking laleō plainly en parrēsia and kai not oudeis using legō veiled paroimia language ! ³⁰ Now nyn we know oida that hoti you know oida all pas things and kai have echō no ou need chreia for hina anyone tis to question erōtaō you sy. This is why en we believe pisteuō that hoti you have come forth exerchomai from apo God theos.” ³¹ Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai them autos, “ Do you now arti believe pisteuō? ³² Behold idou, the hour hōra is coming erchomai, indeed kai it has come erchomai, when hina you will be scattered, each hekastos to eis · ho his idios own place, and you will leave aphiēmi me kagō alone monos. And kai yet I am eimi not ou alone monos, because hoti the ho Father patēr is eimi with meta me egō. ³³ I have told laleō you hymeis these houtos things so hina that in en me egō you may have echō peace eirēnē. In en the ho world kosmos you will have echō tribulation thlipsis, but alla take courage tharseō, I egō have conquered nikaō the ho world kosmos.”
