1 „Mina olen tõeline viinapuu ja Minu Isa on viinamäe aednik.
2 Iga oksa Minu küljes, mis ei kanna vilja, Tema kõrvaldab ja igaüht, mis kannab vilja, Tema puhastab, et see kannaks rohkem vilja.
3 Teie olete juba puhtad selle sõna pärast, mis Mina teile rääkinud!
4 Jääge Minusse ja Mina jään teisse. Nagu oks ei või vilja kanda iseenesest, kui ta ei jää viinapuu külge, nõnda ka teie, kui te ei jää Minusse.
5 Mina olen viinapuu, teie olete oksad; kes jääb Minusse ja Mina temasse, see kannab palju vilja; sest ilma Minuta ei või te midagi teha!
6 Kui keegi ei jää Minusse, siis ta heidetakse välja nagu viinapuu oks ning kuivab ära. Ja nad kogutakse kokku ja heidetakse tulle ning põletatakse ära.
7 Kui te jääte Minusse ja Minu sõnad jäävad teisse, siis paluge, mis te iganes tahate, ja see sünnib teile!
8 Selles on Minu Isa austatud, et te kannate palju vilja ja osutute Minu jüngriteks.
9 Otsegu Minu Isa on armastanud Mind, nõnda olen ka Mina teid armastanud; jääge Minu armastusse.
10 Kui te peate Minu käsusõnu, siis te jääte Minu armastusse, nõnda nagu Mina olen pidanud Oma Isa käsusõnu ja jään Tema armasusse.
11 Seda Ma olen teile rääkinud, et Minu rõõm oleks teie sees ja teie rõõm saaks täielikuks.
12 See on Minu käsusõna, et te armastaksite üksteist nõnda nagu Mina teid olen armastanud!
13 Suuremat armastust ei ole kellelgi kui see, et ta jätab oma elu oma sõprade eest!
14 Teie olete Mu sõbrad, kui te teete, mida Mina teid käsin.
15 Ma ei ütle teid enam orjad olevat, sest ori ei tea, mida ta isand teeb. Vaid Ma olen teid nimetanud sõpradeks, sest Ma olen teile teada annud kõik, mis Ma Oma Isalt olen kuulnud.
16 Mitte teie ei ole Mind valinud, vaid Mina olen teid valinud ja olen teid seadnud, et te läheksite ja kannaksite vilja ja et teie vili jääks ja Isa teile annaks, mida te iganes palute Minu nimel.
17 Seda Ma käsin teid, et te armastaksite üksteist!
18 Kui maailm teid vihkab, siis teadke, et ta Mind on enne teid vihanud.
19 Kui te oleksite maailmast, siis maailm armastaks oma. Aga et te ei ole maailmast, vaid Mina olen teid ära valinud maailmast, sellepärast vihkab teid maailm!
20 Pidage meeles seda sõna, mis Ma teile olen ütelnud: Ei ole ori suurem oma isandast! On nemad Mind taga kiusanud, siis nad kiusavad teidki taga. On nad pidanud Minu sõna, siis nad peavad teiegi sõna.
21 Aga seda kõike nad teevad teile Minu nime pärast, sest nad ei tunne Teda, Kes Mind on läkitanud.
22 Kui Ma ei oleks tulnud ega oleks neile rääkinud, siis ei oleks neil pattu. Aga nüüd ei ole neil oma pattu millegagi vabandada.
23 Kes vihkab Mind, see vihkab Mu Isa!
24 Kui Ma ei oleks nende keskel teinud neid tegusid, mida ükski muu ei ole teinud, ei oleks neil pattu, aga nüüd on nad näinud ja vihanud niihästi Mind kui Mu Isa.
25 Aga see on sündinud, et läheks täide sõna, mis on kirjutatud nende käsuõpetuses: Nad on Mind vihanud ilmaasjata!
26 Aga kui Trööstija tuleb, kelle Mina teile läkitan Isalt, tõe Vaim, Kes lähtub Isast, See tunnistab Minust.

1 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.
2 He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.
3 You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.
4 Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.
6 If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.
7 If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.
8 Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.
9 Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.
10 If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.
11 I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.
12 This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.
15 No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.
16 You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.
17 So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.
18 If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.
19 If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.
20 Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.
21 They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.
22 If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.
23 He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.
25 This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.
26 When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father--he will give witness about me;
27 And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.
