15 ^q“If you ^rlove me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will ^sgive you another ^tHelper,¹ to be with you forever, 17 even the ^uSpirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be² in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 ^vYet a little while and ^wthe world will see me no more, but you will see me. ^xBecause I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and ^yyou in me, and ^zI in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And ^ahe who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will ^bkeep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our ^chome with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you ^dwhile I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, ^ehe will teach you all things and bring to your ^fremembrance all that I have said to you. 27 ^gPeace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ^hLet not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ⁱ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is ^jgreater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for ^kthe ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has ^lcommanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. ^mRise, let us go from here.

1 ⁿ“I am the true ^ovine, ^pand my Father is the vinedresser. 2 ^qEvery branch in me ^rthat does not ^sbear fruit ^the takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already ^uyou are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 ^vAbide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, ^wunless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and ^xthe branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words ^yabide in you, ^zask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 ^aBy this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so ^bprove to be my disciples. 9 ^cAs ^dthe Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 ^eIf you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s ^fcommandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and ^gthat your joy may be full.

12 ^h“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 ⁱGreater love has no one than this, that someone ^jlay down his life for his friends. 14 ^kYou are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants,³ for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for ^lall that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but ^mI chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

18 “If the world ⁿhates you, know that it has ^ohated me before it hated you. 19 If you were ^pof the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are ^qnot of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ^r‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they ^spersecuted me, ^tthey will also persecute you. If they ^ukept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But ^vall these things they will do to you ^won account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. 22 ^xIf I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin,⁴ but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 ^yWhoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But the word that is written in their Law must be ^zfulfilled: ^a‘They hated me without a cause.’

26 “But when the ^bHelper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the ^cSpirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will ^dbear witness about me. 27 And you also will ^ebear witness, ^fbecause you have been with me from the beginning.
