Léctio sancti Evangélii secundum Ioánnem (15,1-8)
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Ego sum vitis vera, et Pater meus agrícola est. Omnem pálmitem in me non feréntem fructum tollit eum; et omnem, qui fert fructum, purgat eum, ut fructum plus áfferat. Iam vos mundi estis propter sermónem, quem locútus sum vobis. Manéte in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semetípso, nisi mánserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manséritis. Ego sum vitis, vos pálmites. Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potéstis fácere. Si quis in me non mánserit, missus est foras sicut palmes et áruit; et cólligunt eos et in ignem mittunt, et ardent. Si manséritis in me, et verba mea in vobis mánserint, quodcúmque voluéritis, pétite, et fiet vobis. In hoc clarificátus est Pater meus, ut fructum multum afferátis et efficiámini mei discípuli.
At that time: Jesus saith to His disciples: I am the true vine; and my Father is the husband-man. Every branch in me, not bearing fruit, he will take it away: & every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring more fruit. Now you are clean for the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so you neither unless you abide in me. I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If any abide not in me: he shall be cast forth as the branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. If you abide in me, & my words abide in you: you shall ask what thing soever you will, and it shall be done to you. In this my Father is glorified; that you bring very much fruit, and become my Disciples.
