⁹Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou: Shew us the Father?

¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.

¹¹Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me?

¹²Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen, I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and greater than these shall he do.

¹³Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.

¹⁵If you love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever:

¹⁷The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you.

¹⁸I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you.

¹⁹Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live.

²⁰In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you.

²¹He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.

²²Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?

²³Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word. And my Father will love him and we will come to him and will make our abode with him.

²⁴He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard is not mine; but the Father’s who sent me.

²⁵These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you.

²⁶But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.

²⁷Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor let it be afraid.

²⁸You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

²⁹And now I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe.

³⁰I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing.

³¹But that the world may know that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandments, so do I. Arise, let us go hence.

Chapter 15

I am the true vine: and my Father is the husbandman.

²Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

³Now you are clean, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.

⁴Abide in me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.

⁵I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

⁶If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither: and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire: and he burneth.

⁷If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will: and it shall be done unto you.

⁸In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

⁹As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love.

¹⁰If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father’s commandments and do abide in his love.

¹¹These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.

¹²This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.

¹³Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.

¹⁵I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁶You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

¹⁷These things I command you, that you love one another.

¹⁸If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you.

¹⁹If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

²⁰Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²¹But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him that sent me.

²²If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²³He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

²⁴If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁵But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause.

²⁶But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.

²⁷And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
