John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. 2 “Every branch in Me that bears no fruit He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit He prunes, so that it bears more fruit. 3 “You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you. 4 “Stay in Me, and I stay in you. As the branch is unable to bear fruit of itself, unless it stays in the vine, so neither you, unless you stay in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who stays in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit. Because without Me you are able to do naught! 6 “If anyone does not stay in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 “If you stay in Me, and My Words stay in you, you shall ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. 8 “In this My Father is esteemed, that you bear much fruit, and you shall be My taught ones. 9 “As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Stay in My love. 10 “If you guard My commands, you shall stay in My love,an even as I have guarded My Father’s commands and stay in His love.

John 2:13And the Pěsaḥ of the Yehuḏim was near, andיהושע went up to Yerushalayim. 14And He found in the Set-apart Place those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting. 15And having made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the Set-apart Place, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the moneychangers’ coins and overturned the tables. 16And He said to those selling doves, “Take these away! Do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise!” 17And His taught ones remembered that it was written,“The ardour for Your house has eaten Me up.”

Proverbs 3:11My son, do not despise the discipline ofיהוה , And do not loathe His reproof; 12For whomיהוה loves He reproves, As a father the son whom he delights in.

Matthews 12:33“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. 34“Brood of adders! How are you able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. 35“The good man brings forth what is good from the good treasures of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked from the wicked treasure. 36“And I say to you that for every idle word men speak, they shall give an account of it in the day of judgment. 37“For by your words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous.”

John 12:36“While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you become sons of light.” Thesewordsיהושע spoke, and went off and was hidden from them. 37But though He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38that the word of Yeshayahu the prophet might be filled, which he spoke,“יהוה , who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm ofיהוה been revealed?”. 39Because of this they were unable to believe, because again Yeshayahu said: 40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal them.” 41Yeshayahu said this when he saw His esteem and spoke of Him. 42Still, even among the rulers many did believe in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confessHim, lest they should be put out of the congregation, 43for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of Elohim.
