nt me.
10 [14:25]I have said these things to you while yet continuing with
you, [14:26]but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and remind you of all
things which I have told you. [14:27]Peace I leave with you; my peace I
give you; not as the world gives give I to you. Let not your hearts be
troubled, neither let them be afraid. [14:28]You heard that I said to
you, I will go away and come to you. If you loved me you would rejoice
because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
[14:29]And now I have told you before it occurs, that when it occurs
you may believe. [14:30]I will not speak with you much more; for the
ruler of this world comes and has nothing in me; [14:31]but [I have
said this] that the world may know that I love the Father, and that as
the Father has commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
CHAPTER XVII.
CHRIST'S SERMON AFTER THE LAST SUPPER.
1 [15:1]I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
[15:2]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.
[15:3]You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to
you; [15:4]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. [15:5]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. [15:6]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. [15:7]If you continue in
me, and my words continue in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and
it shall be [given] you. [15:8]By this is my Father glorified, that you
bear much fruit and be my disciples. [15:9]As the Father has loved me,
I also have loved you; continue in my love. [15:10]If you keep my
commandments you shall continue in my love, as I have kept my Father's
commandments and continue in his love. [15:11]I have spoken these
things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be completed.
[15:12]This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have
loved you. [15:13]No man has greater love than this, that one should
give his life for his friends. [15:14]You are my friends if you do
what I command you; [15:15]I no longer call you serva
