Contextual Overview
9 As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue. 10 If ye shall keepe my commandements, ye shall abide in my loue, as I haue kept my Fathers commandements, and abide in his loue. 11 These things haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remaine in you, and that your ioy might be full. 12 This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you. 13 Greater loue then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friendes. 14 Ye are my friendes, if ye doe whatsoeuer I commaund you. 15 Henceforth call I you not seruants: for the seruant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I haue called you friends: for all things that I haue heard of my Father, haue I made knowen to you. 16 Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeined you, that ye goe & bring foorth fruite, and that your fruite remaine, that whatsoeuer ye shall aske of the Father in my Name, he may giue it you. 17 These things commaunde I you, that ye loue one another.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
These things I command you,.... The doctrines which Christ spake, as one having authority, concerning the vine and branches; his love to his disciples, in laying down his life for them, and in accounting and using them as friends, and not servants; in choosing, ordaining, and sending them forth, for the ends above mentioned; these were delivered by him with this view, to promote brotherly love among them: that ye love one another; this lay much upon his heart, he often mentions it; this is the third time it is expressed by him, in these his last discourses; and indeed, since he had declared such strong love and affection for them, it was but right and proper they should love one another; nor does anything more tend to increase mutual love among the saints, than the consideration of their common interest in the unchangeable love of their Lord.
