In John 15:5, Jesus says, “I am the Vine; you are the _____.”
Answer
branches
Explanation
### Why this is right
John 15:5 gives the image directly: Jesus is the vine and the disciples are the branches. The image explains their dependence on Him for fruitfulness.
### The concept
A vine supports its branches, and the branches bear fruit while connected to it. Jesus applies this image to life with Him: whoever lives in Him and has Him living in them bears much fruit. The verse says that apart from Him the disciples can do nothing. The image therefore teaches dependence, not merely closeness as an abstract feeling.
### Remember
In John 15, Jesus is the vine; His disciples are the branches.
