The '''True Vine''', or the '''Vine and Branches''', is a very powerful [[allegory]] by [[Jesus]] as described in the [[Gospel of John]] at {{bibleref|John|15|1-17}}, including this wisdom by Jesus:
 
{{cquote|I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.<ref>{{bibleref|John|15|5}} ([[ESV]]).</ref>}}
 
{{cquote|I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.<ref>{{bibleref|John|15|5}} ([[ESV]]).</ref>}}

Sometimes this is also referred to as a [[metaphor]], but its description as an allegory is more accurate.

The full text is as follows:

{{cquote |I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. <sup>2</sup>Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. <sup>3</sup>Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. <sup>4</sup>Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. <sup>5</sup>I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. <sup>6</sup>If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.

== "he it is" - grammar? ==
 +
The [[ESV]] uses the questionable grammatical construction in verse 5: "Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."

== Metaphor? ==

Sometimes this is also referred to as a [[metaphor]], but it is an allegory.
