The Key Word — ἐστε, eimigenerated
The verb εἰμί means 'to be' or 'to exist.' It is a fundamental verb in Greek, serving to link the subject with a predicate, establishing identity or state of being. In this context, it indicates the current state of the disciples as friends of Jesus.
The present tense indicates a continuous state, suggesting that their friendship with Jesus is ongoing and dependent on their actions. The second-person plural form directly addresses the disciples, emphasizing their collective relationship with Him.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The Berean Standard Bible translates this verse as 'You are My friends if you do what I command you.' Other versions, like the KJV and ASV, similarly convey the same meaning but use slightly different phrasing.
Where translations differ is primarily in the rendering of ἐστε. The BSB, WEB, and BBE use 'you are', while others like the KJV and ASV simply state 'are'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the verb ἐστε, you are, which serves as the linking verb for the subject ὑμεῖς, you, and the predicate φίλοι, friends. The conditional clause 'if you do what I command you' modifies the state of being expressed in the main clause.
The structure shows that the friendship is contingent upon obedience, with the verb ποιῆτε indicating the action required for maintaining that friendship.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
φίλος appears in the Septuagint as a translation of the Hebrew word רֵעַ, meaning 'friend' or 'companion.' This connection emphasizes the relational aspect of being a friend of God, as seen in various Old Testament contexts.
The usage of ἐντέλλομαι in the Septuagint corresponds to the Hebrew צָוָה, which means 'to command.' This shows continuity in the concept of divine commands from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
John 15:14 states that Jesus considers His followers to be His friends if they obey His commands. This highlights the importance of obedience in the relationship between Jesus and His disciples.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Being a friend of Jesus means having a close, personal relationship with Him that is demonstrated through obedience to His teachings.
Yes, according to this verse, obedience to His commands is a condition for being considered His friend.
Jesus' commands are found throughout the Scriptures, particularly in the teachings of the New Testament, where He instructs His followers on how to live and love.
This verse indicates that Jesus' love is not just a feeling but is expressed through actions, specifically through obedience to His commands.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways can I demonstrate my friendship with Jesus through obedience?
- How does understanding my relationship with Jesus as a friend change the way I view His commands?
- What specific commands of Jesus do I find challenging to follow, and why?
- How can I encourage others to see the importance of obedience in their relationship with Jesus?

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Vos amici mei estis, si feceritis quæ ego præcipio vobis.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

σύ is the second-person singular pronoun meaning 'you' in Greek. It has various forms: genitive σοῦ, dative σοί, and accusative σέ.

φίλος is an adjective and noun meaning 'friend' or 'dear.' It conveys notions of love and friendship, often used in the New Testament to describe close relationships, as seen in verses like Luke 7:6 and John 15:15. The word can also imply being beloved or cherished. There are variations in its usage across different contexts, but no significant disagreements among lexicons.

Deissmann (ZAZ p. 134 ff.) has drawn attention to the parallels to the solemn use of the first personal pronoun in the Fourth Gospel that may be adduced from inscriptions and magical texts. Thus in an inscr. in honour of Isis from Ios, written in ii/iii A.p., the contents of which are preChristian, we find —Elows ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ τ[ύρανν]ος πάσης χόρας.. ἐγὼ νόμους ἀνθρώποις ἐθέμην . . ἐγώ εἰμι Kpdvov θυγάτηρ πρεσβυτάτη α΄. And similarly in the magical papyrus P Lond 4645 (iv/a.p.) (=I. p. 69) ἐγώ εἰμι ὃ ἀκέφαλος δαίμων . . ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀλήθεια ὁ μεισῶν ἀδικήματα γείνεσθαι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ α΄.

Mine
The process of mining is described in Job 28:1-11. Moses speaks of the mineral wealth of Palestine (Deut. 8:9). Job 28:4 is rightly thus rendered in the Revised Version, “He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; they are forgotten of the foot [that passeth by]; they hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.” These words illustrate ancient mining operations.

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

ποιέω is a Greek verb meaning 'to make' or 'to do,' with a wide range of applications including creating, producing, or performing actions. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts relating to God's creative acts or human actions, such as making sacrifices or preparing feasts. Notably, it can also imply causing something to happen or fulfilling a purpose. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

The Greek word ὅσος (i.e., *hosos*) is a relative adjective meaning 'how much,' 'how many,' or 'how great.' It is used to express quantity, size, distance, and time, often in comparison with another quantity. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Mark 7:36 and Romans 7:1. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement regarding its meanings or uses.

how much, how many, how great, how far, how long, as much as, etc. (= Lat. quantus);

The first-person pronoun. A Greek verb already carries its person in the ending, so the pronoun is usually present for emphasis. Luke puts himself inside the “us” among whom these things were fulfilled: he writes as one of the people the events happened to, not as an observer standing outside them.

The Greek word ἐντέλλομαι (i.e., *entellomai*) means to command or enjoin. It is primarily used in the middle voice and can indicate giving orders or instructions, often with various grammatical constructions. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as Matthew 19:7 and Acts 1:2. The lexicons suggest it is synonymous with terms like κελεύω and παραγγέλλω, though with a focus on the content of the command.

σύ is the second-person singular pronoun meaning 'you' in Greek. It has various forms: genitive σοῦ, dative σοί, and accusative σέ.
