Answer: Jesus makes known to His followers--His obedient friends--everything that He learned from His Father. Because His true followers are His obedient friends who have been taught by Him everything He learned from His Father, these obedient friends are chosen by Jesus and given an appointment, task, job or work of service to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last, (verses 15 and 16).
