John 15 — Context

1

The Vine and the Branches“I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

2

He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.

3

You are clean already because of the word that I have spoken to you.

4

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.

5

“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me– and I in him– bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.

6

If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and are burned up.
