Suggested context · John 15:11–27

The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

15:11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

15:12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

15:13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

15:14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15:15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

15:16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

15:17These things I command you, that ye love one another.

15:18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

15:19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

15:20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

15:21But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

15:22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

15:23He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

15:24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

15:25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

Selected passage

15:26But 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 testify of me:

15:27And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
