John 15

1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.

Y am a very vyne, and my fadir is an erthe tilier.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.

Ech braunch in me that berith not fruyt, he schal take awey it; and ech that berith fruyt, he schal purge it, that it bere the more fruyt.

3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:

Now ye ben clene, for the word that Y haue spokun to you.

4 Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide.

Dwelle ye in me, and Y in you; as a braunche may not make fruyt of it silf, but it dwelle in the vyne, so nether ye, but ye dwelle in me.

5 I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.

Y am a vyne, ye the braunchis. Who that dwellith in me, and Y in hym, this berith myche fruyt, for with outen me ye moun no thing do.

6 If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, —and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.

If ony man dwellith not in me, he schal be caste out as a braunche, and schal wexe drie; and thei schulen gadere hym, and thei schulen caste hym in to the fier, and he brenneth.

7 If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you.

If ye dwellen in me, and my wordis dwelle in you, what euer thing ye wolen, ye schulen axe, and it schal be don to you.

8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.

In this thing my fadir is clarified, that ye brynge forth ful myche fruyt, and that ye be maad my disciplis.

9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.

As my fadir louede me, Y haue loued you; dwelle ye in my loue.

10 If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, —just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.

If ye kepen my comaundementis, ye schulen dwelle in my loue; as Y haue kept the comaundementis of my fadir, and Y dwelle in his loue.

11 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.

These thingis Y spak to you, that my ioye be in you, and youre ioye be fulfillid.

12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.

This is my comaundement, that ye loue togidere, as Y louede you.

13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.

No man hath more loue than this, that a man putte his lijf for hise freendis.

14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.

Ye ben my freendis if ye doen tho thingis, that Y comaunde to you.

15 No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you.

Now Y schal not clepe you seruauntis, for the seruaunt woot not, what his lord schal do; but Y haue clepid you freendis, for alle thingis what euere Y herde of my fadir, Y haue maad knowun to you.

16 Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, —and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.

Ye han not chosun me, but Y chees you; and Y haue put you, that ye go, and brynge forth fruyt, and youre fruyt dwelle; that what euere thing ye axen the fadir in my name, he yyue to you.

17 These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.

These thingis Y comaunde to you, that ye loue togidere.

18 If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.

If the world hatith you, wite ye, that it hadde me in hate rather than you.

19 If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.

If ye hadden be of the world, the world schulde loue that thing that was his; but for ye ben not of the world, but Y chees you fro the world, therfor the world hatith you.

20 Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, —If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.

Haue ye mynde of my word, which Y seide to you, The seruaunt is not grettere than his lord. If thei han pursued me, thei schulen pursue you also; if thei han kept my word, thei schulen kepe youre also.

21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.

But thei schulen do to you alle these thingis for my name, for thei knowen not hym that sente me.

22 Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.

If Y hadde not comun, and hadde not spokun to hem, thei schulden not haue synne; but now thei haue noon excusacioun of her synne.

23 He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.

He that hatith me, hatith also my fadir.

24 Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.

If Y hadde not doon werkis in hem, whiche noon other man dide, thei schulden not haue synne; but now both thei han seyn, and hatid me and my fadir.

25 But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.

But that the word be fulfillid, that is writun in her lawe, For thei hadden me in hate with outen cause.

26 Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me;

But whanne the coumfortour schal come, which Y schal sende to you fro the fadir, a spirit of treuthe, which cometh of the fadir, he schal bere witnessyng of me;

27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,

and ye schulen bere witnessyng, for ye ben with me fro the bigynnyng.
