John.15
[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit
he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth 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 branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth 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 disciples.
[9] As the Father hath loved me,
so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my
love; even as I have kept 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 hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends.
[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[15] Henceforth
I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: 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: but because ye are not of the
world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
[20] Remember the word
that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also
persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep 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 hateth me
hateth my Father also.
[24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they
had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
[25] But this cometh to
pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
[26] But
when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
[27] And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have
been with me from the beginning.
John.16
[1] These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
[2] They shall put you out of
the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
[3]
And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
[4] But these
things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And
these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
[5] But now I go my way to
him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
[6] But because I have said these
things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
[7] Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you
that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him
unto you.
[8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
[9]
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
[10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see
me no more;
[11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
[12] I have yet many things
to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to come.
[14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and
shall shew it unto you.
[15] All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of
mine, and shall shew it unto you.
[16] A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and
ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
[17] Then said some of his disciples among themselves,
What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and
