Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. | I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. |
|

| Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. | But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. |

| I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. | I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father. |
| These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. | I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. |
| And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. | Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. |
| I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. | My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. |

(They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) |

Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” |
