# I am the vine, you are the branches
|
|
|
|
The "vine" is a metaphor that represents Jesus. The "branches" is a metaphor that represent those who trust in Jesus and belong to him. Alternate translation: "I am like a vine, and you are like branches that are attached to the vine" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# He who remains in me and I in him
|
|
|
|
"He who stays joined to me and I stay joined to him"
|
|
|
|
# he bears much fruit
|
|
|
|
The implied metaphor here is the fruitful branch that represents the believer who pleases God. Just as a branch that is attached to the vine will bear much fruit, those who stay joined to Jesus will do many things that please God. Alternate translation: "you will bear much fruit" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
