SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–17 Jesus is the true vine

Jesus compared himself to a vine, his Father to a vine grower, and his followers to the vine’s branches. The Father would remove branches that did not produce fruit and prune (cut shorter) those branches that did. Jesus told his disciples to remain in him, the vine, and his love so that they could produce much fruit. Their prayers would also be answered. If they remained in his love, they would keep his commandments and Jesus and they would have joy.

Jesus’ commandment was that they should love one another as he had loved them. Then they would be his friends. Jesus already called them friends because he told them everything that the Father told him. They did not choose Jesus, but he chose them. He appointed them to produce fruit that would last so that the Father would give them whatever they asked for.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus the true vine

The vine and the branches

Paragraph 15:5–8

Jesus continued to illustrate the Christian life by using the extended metaphor of a vine. He compared the disciples to branches and warned his followers that without him they would be useless, like dead branches.

15:7

This verse tells what would happen to and for those who do remain or abide in him. God will answer their prayers.

15:7a

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you,

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you: This is a conditional clause. It indicates two conditions that both must be fulfilled before someone’s prayers will be answered. If possible, translate the word remain the same way both times. For example:

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you (NRSV)

If you live in me and what I say lives in you (GW)

you remain in Me: The phrase remain in Me refers to living in union with Christ, in close fellowship and agreement. Translate it as you did in 15:4 and 15:5. For example:

Stay joined to me (CEV)

If you abide in me (NRSV)

you: This pronoun is plural and refers to the disciples.

My words remain in you: This clause refers to remembering Jesus’ words and obeying what he taught. Jesus’ words abide or remain in a person when that person thinks about them and follows them. In some languages it may be natural to translate this with the person/disciple as the subject. For example:

you let my words remain in you

you keep in your hearts what I teach you (Otomi Back Translation)

My words: This phrase refers to all that Jesus had taught. For example:

my teaching

the things I have told you

15:7b

ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

ask whatever you wish: The verb ask is short for “ask God in prayer” or “pray to God.” When a person abides in Christ, the things that he wants and asks for are also things that will please Christ. Everywhere in this chapter Jesus referred to God as “the Father” or “my Father,” so it is good to do so here also. For example:

ask the Father for whatever you want

it will be done for you: This clause is passive. There are at least two ways to translate it:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μείνητε ἐν ἐμοὶ

˱you_all˲_˓may˒_remain in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐάν μείνητε ἐν ἐμοί καί τά ῥήματα μού ἐν ὑμῖν μείνῃ ὅ ἐάν θέλητε αἰτήσασθε καί γενήσεται ὑμῖν)

See how you translated remain in me in the previous three verses.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὰ ῥήματά μου ἐν ὑμῖν μείνῃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐάν μείνητε ἐν ἐμοί καί τά ῥήματα μού ἐν ὑμῖν μείνῃ ὅ ἐάν θέλητε αἰτήσασθε καί γενήσεται ὑμῖν)

This is an idiom that means to obey Jesus. See how you translated a similar expression in [8:31](../08/31.md)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὃ ἐὰν θέλητε, αἰτήσασθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐάν μείνητε ἐν ἐμοί καί τά ῥήματα μού ἐν ὑμῖν μείνῃ ὅ ἐάν θέλητε αἰτήσασθε καί γενήσεται ὑμῖν)

Jesus is leaving out a word that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply the word from the context. Alternate translation: [ask God whatever you desire]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γενήσεται ὑμῖν

˱it˲_˓will_be˒_becoming ˱to˲_you_all

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God will do it for you]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:7 Those whose lives are in harmony with Jesus may ask for anything because their prayers are controlled by his word. Their prayers will be answered and bring glory to God (14:10-13).
