約翰福音 15:25 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 15:25

In their law - Psalms 35:19. All the Old Testament was sometimes called the law. The meaning here is that the same thing happened to him which did to the psalmist. The same words which David used respecting his enemies would express, also, the conduct of the Jews and their treatment of the Messiah. In both cases it was without cause. Jesus had broken no law, he had done no injury to his country or to any individual. It is still true that sinners hate him in the same way. He injures no one, but,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 15:24-27

John 15:24-27. If I had not done among them, &c. If I had wrought no miracle at all among them; nay, if I had not done such extraordinary works as no other man ever did, not even their prophets, or Moses himself; they had not had sin Any degree of sin comparable to that which they are now under: but now they have both seen, &c. But now, as they have rejected my superior miracles, which they have seen with their own eyes, at the same time that they own the evidence of those which... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 15:1-27

145. Union with Jesus (John 15:1-27)In themselves believers have no life, strength or spiritual power. All that they have comes from Jesus Christ. If he is likened to a vine, they are likened to the branches, which means that they can bear spiritual fruit only as they are united in him. As they allow the Father to remove the hindrances of sin from their lives, they will bear even more fruit (John 15:1-5).Those who bear no fruit are like the dead branches of a vine. Though attached to it, they... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 15:25

But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.Their law ... stresses the inordinate regard the priests had for the external features of Moses' law; and it was "theirs" in the sense of the affectionate regard they professed for it, while actually denying it by their sinful conduct. Note that the quotation ascribed to "the law" was not from the Pentateuch, thus revealing that the term "law" was a reference to the entire Old... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 15:17-27

6. The warning about opposition from the world 15:17-27Jesus had discussed the Father’s unity with the Son, the Son’s unity with His disciples, and the disciples’ unity with one another, as recorded in this chapter. It was natural then that He should also address the disciples’ relationship with the world. His reference to their mission led Him into this subject (John 15:16)."This study [John 15:1-16] began in the vineyard and ended in the throne room! The next study will take us to the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 15:24-25

These verses amplify the former two. They also add the idea that the world’s hatred did not jeopardize God’s redemptive plan. Its hatred was part of what God predicted would accompany Messiah’s mission. The Jews’ own Scriptures condemned their unbelief. Probably the quotation comes from Psalms 69:4. David experienced hatred for no reason. How much more would the Son of David experience it? read more
