John 15:1

[The meal has just ended (John 14:31). Jesus and the disciples are on their way from the upper room in Jerusalem to the Kidron Valley and Gethsemane, which is just outside the city (John 18:1). In the following three chapters, John includes further details from the conversation that evening; these are likely related to places they pass along the way. When Jesus prays for his disciples a little later, he lifts his eyes to heaven, which also suggests that they are outdoors (John 17:1).
Above the gate to the temple was a gold decoration depicting a vine with several large bunches of grapes. The Jewish historian Josephus describes this in his writings. The vine was also a symbol of the people of Israel, and in particular their special status as God's chosen people (Ps. 80:9; Isa. 5:7; Matt. 21:33–41). Usually, the gates to the temple area were closed in the evening, but on Passover night, the temple area was open because there were so many pilgrims in the city. It is therefore possible that Jesus and his disciples took the most direct route to Gethsemane across the temple area. If so, the following three chapters take place there. Passover (like the other major holidays) always falls in the middle of the Jewish month (the 14th and 15th days, see Lev. 23:5, 6, 34). Since the months begin at the new moon, it is always a full moon during the holidays (a practical detail that makes it easier to move around outdoors). In clear weather (which is usually the case at this time of year), the gilded vines above the gate glisten in the moonlight. Jesus says that he is the true vine, unlike the artificial vines. Jesus may also have pronounced the priestly blessing in chapter 17 at the very place where the people received the high priest's blessing.]
"I am the true (genuine) vine [the trunk with its sap]
and my Father is the vine-dresser (the vineyard worker, the farmer).
