Today, we are reading John 15, 16.
| 1 | I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. |
| 2 | Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. |
| 3 | Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. |
| 4 | Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. |
| 5 | I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. |
| 6 | If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. |
| 7 | If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. |
| 8 | Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. |
| 9 | As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. |
| 10 | If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. |
| 11 | These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. |
| 12 | This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. |
| 13 | Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. |
| 14 | Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. |
| 15 | Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. |
| 16 | Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. |
| 17 | These things I command you, that ye love one another. |
| 18 | If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. |
| 19 | If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. |
| 20 | Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. |
| 21 | But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. |
| 22 | If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. |
| 23 | He that hateth me hateth my Father also. |
| 24 | If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. |
| 25 | But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. |
| 26 | But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: |
| 27 | And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. |
| 1 | These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. |
| 2 | They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. |
| 3 | And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. |
| 4 | But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. |
| 5 | But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? |
| 6 | But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. |
| 7 | Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. |
| 8 | And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: |
| 9 | Of sin, because they believe not on me; |
| 10 | Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; |
| 11 | Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. |
| 12 | I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. |
| 13 | Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. |
| 14 | He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. |
| 15 | All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you. |
| 16 | A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. |
| 17 | Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? |
| 18 | They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. |
| 19 | Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? |
| 20 | Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. |
| 21 | A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. |
| 22 | And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. |
| 23 | And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. |
| 24 | Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. |
| 25 | These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. |
| 26 | At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: |
| 27 | For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. |
| 28 | I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. |
| 29 | His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. |
| 30 | Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. |
| 31 | Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? |
| 32 | Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. |
| 33 | These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. |
