1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
1 YO soy la vid verdadera, y mi Padre es el labrador.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch ]that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear 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.
3 Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.
3 Ya vosotros sois limpios por la palabra que os he hablado.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye 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.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can 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.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
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.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
7 Si estuviereis en mí, y mis palabras estuvieren en vosotros, pedid todo lo que quisiereis, y os será hecho.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so ]shall ye be my disciples.
8 En esto es glorificado mi Padre, [en] que llevéis mucho fruto, y seáis [así] mis discípulos.
9 Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love.
9 Como el Padre me amó, también yo os he amado: estad en mi amor.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and 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.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and [that ]your joy may be fulfilled.
11 Estas cosas os he hablado, para que mi gozo esté en vosotros, y vuestro gozo sea cumplido.
12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.
12 Este es mi mandamiento: Que os améis los unos á los otros, como yo os he amado.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
13 Nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que ponga alguno su vida por sus amigos.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.
14 Vosotros sois mis amigos, si hiciereis las cosas que yo os mando.
15 No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto 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.
16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that ]your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it 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.
17 These things I command you, that ye may love one another.
17 Esto os mando: Que os améis los unos á los otros.
18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated ]you.
18 Si el mundo os aborrece, sabed que á mí me aborreció antes que á vosotros.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth 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.
20 Remember the word that I said unto 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 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.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
21 Mas todo esto os harán por causa de mi nombre, porque no conocen al que me ha enviado.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had 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.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
23 El que me aborrece, también á mi Padre aborrece.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both 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.
25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
25 Mas para que se cumpla la palabra que está escrita en su ley: Que sin causa me aborrecieron.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even ]the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of 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.
27 and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
27 Y vosotros daréis testimonio, porque estáis conmigo desde el principio.

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 …

For "He will burn the chaff," saith he, "with unquenchable fire."
