- Kapitel 15 -

(Isaiah 27:1–13)
1
I Am that true vine, and my Father is that husband man.
2
Euery branch that beareth not fruite in me, he taketh away: and euery one that beareth fruite, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruite.
3
Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.
4
Abide in me, and I in you: as the branche cannot beare fruite of it selfe, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5
I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruite: for without me can ye doe nothing.
6
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branche, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burne.
7
If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.
8
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye beare much fruite, and be made my disciples.

No Greater Love

9
As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue.
10
If ye shall keepe my commandements, ye shall abide in my loue, as I haue kept my Fathers commandements, and abide in his loue.
11
These things haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remaine in you, and that your ioy might be full.
12
This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you.
13
Greater loue then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friendes.
14
Ye are my friendes, if ye doe whatsoeuer I commaund you.
15
Henceforth call I you not seruants: for the seruant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I haue called you friends: for all things that I haue heard of my Father, haue I made knowen to you.
16
Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeined you, that ye goe and bring foorth fruite, and that your fruite remaine, that whatsoeuer ye shall aske of the Father in my Name, he may giue it you.
17
These things commaund I you, that ye loue one another.

The Hatred of the World

18
If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before you.
19
If ye were of the worlde, the world woulde loue his owne: but because ye are not of ye world, but I haue chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20
Remember the word that I said vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master. If they haue persecuted me, they will persecute you also: if they haue kept my worde, they will also keepe yours.
21
But all these things will they doe vnto you for my Names sake, because they haue not knowen him that sent me.
22
If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shoulde not haue had sinne: but nowe haue they no cloke for their sinne.
23
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
24
If I had not done workes among them which none other man did, they had not had sinne: but nowe haue they both seene, and haue hated both me, and my Father.
25
But it is that the worde might be fulfilled, that is written in their Lawe, They hated me without a cause.
26
But when that Comforter shall come, whom I will send vnto you from the Father, euen the Spirit of trueth, which proceedeth of the Father, he shall testifie of me.
27
And ye shall witnesse also, because ye haue bene with me from the beginning.
(Isaiah 27:1–13)
1
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
2
Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3
You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
5
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6
If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8
“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

No Greater Love

9
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12
“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
14
You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
15
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16
You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17
“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

The Hatred of the World

18
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19
If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20
Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ (a) If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21
But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
22
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23
He who hates me, hates my Father also.
24
If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’ (b)
26
“When the Counselor (c) has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27
You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
