## Definition: ##

|
|
The term "vine" refers to a plant that grows by trailing along the ground or by climbing trees and other structures. The word "vine" in the Bible is used only of fruit-bearing vines and usually refers to grape vines.
|
|
|
|
* In the Bible, the word "vine" almost always means "grapevine."
|
|
* The branches of the grapevine are attached to the main stem which gives them water and other nutrients so that they can grow.
|
|
* Jesus called himself the "vine" and called his people the "branches." In this context, the word "vine" could also be translated as "grapevine stem" or "grape plant stem." (See: [Metaphor](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor))
