The True Vine
A vine rising out of the ground, its branches spreading across the dark, each one fixed in it, and fruit on every branch. Scroll to watch it.
I am the true Vine, and My Father is the Husbandman.
John 15:1, as St Cyril of Alexandria gives it
I am the Vine, ye are the branches, My Father is the Husbandman.
John 15:5, as St Cyril of Alexandria gives it
those who are united and fixed and rooted in a manner in Him, and who are already partakers in His nature through their participation in the Holy Spirit are branches; for it is His Holy Spirit Which has united us with the Saviour Christ
Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John Book X
