Read in context

John 15:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

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

13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

14 You are My friends if you do what I command you.

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
