I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he trims, that it may bear more fruit. You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to you; read more.
continue in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it continues in the vine, so you cannot, unless you continue in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He that continues in me and I in him, this man bears much fruit; for separated from me, you can do nothing. If any one continues not in me he is cast without as a branch, and is withered; and they collect them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be [given] you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; continue in my love. If you keep my commandments you shall continue in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and continue in his love. I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be completed. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No man has greater love than this, that one should give his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you; I no longer call you servants, for the servant knows not what his Lord does; but I have called you friends: for all things which I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should continue, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. These things I charge you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you. If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to its own; but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you, on my account, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin. He that hates me, hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. But [they do this] that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause.

Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I testify of it that its works are evil. Do you go up to the feast; I go not up to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.


Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea because the Jews sought to kill him. AND the feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles.

for no one does any thing in secret, and seeks himself to be in public. If you do these things, show yourself to the world. For his brothers did not believe on him. Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I testify of it that its works are evil. Do you go up to the feast; I go not up to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come. Having said these things he continued in Galilee. But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? And there was much complaining concerning him among the multitude; some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the people. Nevertheless, no one spoke openly for him from fear of the Jews. And in the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven places of shelter; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head. And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. But he said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but do you go and proclaim abroad the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow you, but permit me first to bid farewell to those in my house. But Jesus said, No man putting his hand on the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
