John 14:27-15:7 (Gospel)
- 27
- Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
- 28
- You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
- 29
- And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.
- 30
- I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
- 31
- But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
- 1
- I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
- 2
- Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
- 3
- You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
- 4
- Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
- 5
- I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
- 6
- If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
- 7
- If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
