WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
1 YO soy la vid verdadera, y mi Padre es el labrador.
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth more fruit.
2 Todo pámpano que en mí no lleva fruto, le quitará: y todo aquel que lleva fruto, le limpiará, para que lleve más fruto.
2 Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.
3 Ya vosotros sois limpios por la palabra que os he hablado.
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you abide in me.
4 Estad en mí, y yo en vosotros. Como el pámpano no puede llevar fruto de sí mismo, si no estuviere en la vid; así ni vosotros, si no estuviereis en mí.
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t 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. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without me, you are able to do nothing.
5 Yo soy la vid, vosotros los pámpanos: el que está en mí, y yo en él, éste lleva mucho fruto; porque sin mí nada podéis hacer.
5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.
6 El que en mí no estuviere, será echado fuera como [mal] pámpano, y se secará; y los cogen, y los echan en el fuego, y arden.
6 If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
7 Si estuviereis en mí, y mis palabras estuvieren en vosotros, pedid todo lo que quisiereis, y os será hecho.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8 In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.
8 En esto es glorificado mi Padre, [en] que llevéis mucho fruto, y seáis [así] mis discípulos.
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.
9 Como el Padre me amó, también yo os he amado: estad en mi amor.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10 If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.
10 Si guardareis mis mandamientos, estaréis en mi amor; como yo también he guardado los mandamientos de mi Padre, y estoy en su amor.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
11 Estas cosas os he hablado, para que mi gozo esté en vosotros, y vuestro gozo sea cumplido.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
12 Este es mi mandamiento: Que os améis los unos á los otros, como yo os he amado.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.
13 Nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que ponga alguno su vida por sus amigos.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.
14 Vosotros sois mis amigos, si hiciereis las cosas que yo os mando.
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
15 Ya no os llamaré siervos, porque el siervo no sabe lo que hace su señor: mas os he llamado amigos, porque todas las cosas que oí de mi Padre, os he hecho notorias.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.
16 No me elegisteis vosotros á mí, mas yo os elegí á vosotros; y os he puesto para que vayáis y llevéis fruto, y vuestro fruto permanezca: para que todo lo que pidiereis del Padre en mi nombre, él os lo dé.
16 You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 This I command you: that you love one another.
17 Esto os mando: Que os améis los unos á los otros.
17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.
18 Si el mundo os aborrece, sabed que á mí me aborreció antes que á vosotros.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Yet truly, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, the world hates you.
19 Si fuerais del mundo, el mundo amaría lo suyo; mas porque no sois del mundo, antes yo os elegí del mundo, por eso os aborrece el mundo.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
20 Acordaos de la palabra que yo os he dicho: No es el siervo mayor que su señor. Si á mí me han perseguido, también á vosotros perseguirán: si han guardado mi palabra, también guardarán la vuestra.
20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.
21 Mas todo esto os harán por causa de mi nombre, porque no conocen al que me ha enviado.
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
22 If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
22 Si no hubiera venido, ni les hubiera hablado, no tendrían pecado, mas ahora no tienen excusa de su pecado.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also.
23 El que me aborrece, también á mi Padre aborrece.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
24 If I had not accomplished among them works that no other person has accomplished, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen me, and they have hated me and my Father.
24 Si no hubiese hecho entre ellos obras cuales ningún otro ha hecho, no tendrían pecado; mas ahora, y [las] han visto, y me aborrecen á mí y á mi Padre.
24 If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 But this is so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law: ‘For they hated me without cause.’
25 Mas para que se cumpla la palabra que está escrita en su ley: Que sin causa me aborrecieron.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
26 But when the Advocate has arrived, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will offer testimony about me.
26 Empero cuando viniere el Consolador, el cual yo os enviaré del Padre, el Espíritu de verdad, el cual procede del Padre, él dará testimonio de mí.
26 “When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27 And you shall offer testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”
27 Y vosotros daréis testimonio, porque estáis conmigo desde el principio.
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Jesus called Himself the vine, and His disciples the branches, and His Father the husbandman; whereon we have already discoursed as we were able.

… Him, as He does Himself declare to His disciples: "I will not now call you servants, for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard from My Father I have made known." For in that which He says, "I will not now call you servants," He indicates …
… handed down to us from the Lord, and to do nothing that our Lord has not first done for us: so that the cup which is offered in remembrance of Him should be mixed with wine. For, as Christ says, I am the true vine,' it follows that the blood of Christ is wine, not water; and the cup cannot …
