- Kapitel 15 -

(Isaiah 27:1–13)
1
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2
He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and he prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
3
You are already clean because of the message that I have spoken to you.
4
Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot 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, he bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing.
6
If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up, and they gather the branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned up.
7
If you remain in me, and if my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8
My Father is glorified in this, that you bear much fruit and so prove that you are my disciples.

No Greater Love

9
As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love.
10
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, as I have kept the commandments of my Father and remain in his love.
11
I have spoken these things to you so that my joy will be in you and so that your joy will be complete.
12
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13
No one has a love greater than this, that he lays down his life for his friends.
14
You are my friends if you do the things that I command you.
15
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. This is so that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
17
These things I command you, so that you love one another.

The Hatred of the World

18
If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world and because 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 master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21
They will do all these things to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
22
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23
He who hates me also hates my Father.
24
If I had not done the works that no one else did among them, they would have no sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
25
But this is in order to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
26
When the Comforter-whom I will send to you from the Father, that is, the Spirit of truth, who goes out from the Father-comes, he will testify about me.
27
You are also testifying because you have been 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.
