Jesus the True Vine

(Isaiah 27:1–13)

15 [ “] I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. 2 He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every [branch] that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in Me, and I {will remain} in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither [can] you [bear fruit] unless you remain in Me.

5 I am the vine [and] you [are] the branches. The [one who] remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone {does} not remain in Me, {he is} like a branch that is thrown away and withers. [Such branches] are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, [then] you will ask[fn] whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This [is to] My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, [proving] yourselves to be My disciples.
