John 15:1-8
Jesus the True Vine
‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every
branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more
fruit. You have already been cleansed
by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in
me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it
abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in
me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from
me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide
in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered,
thrown into the fire, and burned. If you
abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will
be done for you. My Father is glorified
by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
