Berean Standard Bible

“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”

John 15:12

Save as image

Study note

Jesus repeats the new commandment he gave earlier that evening in John 13:34. The repetition signals its central importance in his farewell words, and it now sits within the image of the vine: love for one another is the fruit that branches joined to Jesus bear.
