- 0:00John Chapter 15 I am the true vine, and my father is the vine
- 0:04dresser. Every branch in me that does not
- 0:06bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that bears fruit he
- 0:10prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
- 0:12You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to
- 0:15you. Abide in me, and I in you.
- 0:18As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in
- 0:21the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me.
- 0:24I am the vine, you are the branches.
- 0:27He who abides in me and I in Him, He bears much fruit, for
- 0:30apart from Me you can do nothing.
- 0:32If anyone does not abide in Me, He is thrown away as a branch
- 0:36and dries up, and they gather them and cast them into the
- 0:39fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me and My words
- 0:42abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for
- 0:45you. My Father is glorified by this,
- 0:47that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples.
- 0:52Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you.
- 0:55Abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you
- 0:58will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's
- 1:01commandments and abide in His love.
- 1:03These things I have spoken to you so that my joy may be in you
- 1:07and that your joy may be made full.
- 1:11This is My commandment, that you love one another just as I have
- 1:14loved you. Greater love has no one than
- 1:16this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
- 1:20You are my friends if you do what I command you.
- 1:22No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what
- 1:26his master is doing. But I have called you friends,
- 1:29for all things that I have heard from my father I have made known
- 1:32to you. You did not choose me, but I
- 1:34chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear
- 1:37fruit, and that your fruit would remain so that whatever you ask
- 1:40of the Father in my name he may give to you.
- 1:43This I command you that you love one another.
- 1:47If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it
- 1:50hated you. If you were of the world, the
- 1:52world would love its own. But because you were not of the
- 1:55world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this, the
- 1:58world hates you. Remember the word that I said to
- 2:01you. A slave is not greater than his
- 2:03master. If they persecuted me, they will
- 2:05also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will
- 2:09keep yours also. But all these things they will
- 2:12do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One
- 2:15who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to
- 2:18them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for
- 2:21their sin. He who hates me hates my Father
- 2:24also. If I had not done among them the
- 2:26works which no one else did, they would not have sin.
- 2:30But now they have both seen and hated me and my Father as well.
- 2:34But they have done this to fulfill the Word that is written
- 2:36in their law. They hated me without a cause.
- 2:39When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the
- 2:41Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the
- 2:44Father, He will testify about me, and you will testify also,
- 2:48because you have been with me from the beginning.
