¹ YO SOY la vid verdadera, y mi Padre es el labrador.

² Todo pámpano que en mí no lleva fruto, lo quitará; y todo aquel que lleva fruto, lo limpiará, para que lleve más fruto.

³ Ya vosotros sois limpios por la palabra que os he hablado.

⁴ Permaneced en mí, y yo en vosotros. Como el pámpano no puede llevar fruto de sí mismo, si no permaneciere en la vid; así vosotros, si no estuviereis en mí.

⁵ YO SOY la vid, vosotros los pámpanos; el que permanece en mí, y yo en él, éste lleva mucho fruto; porque sin mí nada podéis hacer.

⁶ El que no permanece en mí, será echado fuera como mal pámpano, y se secará; y los cogen, y los echan en el fuego, y arden.

⁷ Si permaneces en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, todo lo que quisiereis pediréis, y os será hecho.

⁸ En esto es clarificado mi Padre, en que llevéis mucho fruto, y seáis así mis discípulos.

⁹ Como el Padre me amó, también yo os he amado; permaneced en mi amor.

¹⁰ Si guardareis mis mandamientos, permaneceréis en mi amor; como yo también he guardado los mandamientos de mi Padre, y permanesco en su amor.

¹¹ Estas cosas os he hablado, para que mi gozo permanece en vosotros, y vuestro gozo sea cumplido.

¹² Este es mi mandamiento: Que os ameis los unos a los otros, como yo os he amado.

¹³ Nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que ponga alguno su alma por sus amigos.

¹⁴ Vosotros sois mis amigos, si hiciereis las cosas que yo os mando.

¹⁵ Ya no os diré siervos, porque el siervo no sabe lo que hace su señor; mas os he dicho amigos, porque todas las cosas que oí de mi Padre, os las he hecho notorias.

¹⁶ No me elegisteis vosotros a mí , mas yo os elegí a vosotros; y os he puesto para que vayáis y llevéis fruto, y vuestro fruto permanezca; para que todo lo que pidiereis del Padre en mi nombre, él os lo dé.

¹⁷ Esto os mando: Que os ameis los unos a los otros.

¹⁸ Si el mundo os aborrece, sabed que a mí me aborreció antes que a vosotros.

¹⁹ Si fuerais del mundo, el mundo amaría lo que es suyo; mas porque no sois del mundo, antes yo os elegí del mundo, por eso os aborrece el mundo.

²⁰ Acordaos de la palabra que yo os he dicho: No es el siervo mayor que su señor. Si a mí me han perseguido, también a vosotros perseguirá; si han guardado mi palabra, también guardarán la vuestra.

²¹ Mas todo esto os harán por causa de mi nombre, porque no conocen al que me ha enviado.

²² Si no hubiera venido, ni les hubiera hablado, no tendrían pecado, mas ahora no tienen excusa de su pecado.

²³ El que me aborrece, también a mi Padre aborrece.

²⁴ Si no hubiese hecho entre ellos obras cuales ningún otro ha hecho, no tendrían pecado; mas ahora, las han visto, y me aborrecen a mí y a mi Padre.

²⁵ Mas para que se cumpla la palabra que está escrita en su ley: Que sin causa me aborrecieron.

²⁶ Pero cuando viniere el Consolador, el cual yo os enviaré del Padre, el Espíritu de Verdad, el cual procede del Padre, él dará testimonio de mí.

²⁷ Y vosotros daréis testimonio, porque estáis conmigo desde el principio.

¹ In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

² Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,

³ and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

⁴ Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

⁵ Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

⁶ but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

⁷ "Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but Woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!

⁸ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

⁹ If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.

¹⁰ See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹¹ For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.

¹² "What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn't he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

¹³ If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

¹⁴ Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁵ "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

¹⁶ But if he doesn't listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

¹⁷ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.

¹⁸ Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.

¹⁹ Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."

²¹ Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"

²² Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

²³ Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.

²⁴ When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

²⁵ But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

²⁶ The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'

²⁷ The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

²⁸ "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'

²⁹ "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'

³⁰ He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.

³¹ So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.

³² Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.

³³ Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'

³⁴ His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.

³⁵ So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."
