John 15 — Context

11

I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.

12

My commandment is this– to love one another just as I have loved you.

13

No one has greater love than this– that one lays down his life for his friends.

14

You are my friends if you do what I command you.

15

I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.

16

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

17

This I command you– to love one another.
