John 15

Jesus continues giving His followers instructions in light of His impending separation from them.  The relationship between them changes from one of a servant to a 'friend'.  In one of the more familiar passages of Scripture, Jesus states that no one has greater love than the type demonstrated by giving one's life for a friend.  The very next words out of His mouth are "You are my friends ..."  Jesus is about to demonstrate the depth of His love for these men; and He is still giving them instruction for how to procede after He departs.
