Chapter 15

1

I AM the Vine of Truth, and my Father is the Husbandman.

2

Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges 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 Netseriym: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings 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 Talmidiym.

9

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10

If ye guard my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have guarded 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 has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14

Ye are my friends, if את ye do whatsoever I command you.

15

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his Adonai does: 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: את but because ye 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 unto you, The servant is not greater than his adoniy. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have guarded my word, they will guard 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 cloke for their sin.

23

He that hates me hates my Father also.

24

If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25

But, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in the Writings: They hated me without a cause.

26

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Ruach Emeth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27

And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
