John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 15:20

Remember the word that I said unto you ,.... For their further consolation under the hatred of the world, he puts them in mind of a saying of his, which he had lately used, John 13:16 ; to teach them humility, self-denial, and brotherly love, and elsewhere, as in Matthew 10:24 ; for the same purpose as here; namely, to engage them patiently to bear the hatred of men, and all indignities and insults from them, for his name's sake: the servant is not greater than the Lord : nor so... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 15:21

But all these things will they do unto you ,.... Christ here signifies, that all the hatred and persecutions raised against his people by the world, would not be on their own account, for any evil actions done by them; they would not suffer as thieves, murderers, and evildoers, but as Christians; or as he says, for my name's sake : because they were called by his name, and called upon his name; because they professed his name, and confessed him to be the Messiah and Redeemer; because... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:18

If the world hate you - As the followers of Christ were to be exposed to the hatred of the world, it was no small consolation to them to know that that hatred would be only in proportion to their faith and holiness; and that, consequently, instead of being troubled at the prospect of persecution, they should rejoice, because that should always be a proof to them that they were in the very path in which Jesus himself had trod. Dr. Lardner thinks that πρωτον is a substantive, or at least an... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:19

Ye are not of the world - therefore, etc. - On this very account, because ye do not join in fellowship with those who know not God, therefore they hate you. How true is that saying: - "The laws of Christ condemn a vicious world, And goad it to revenge!" Gambold. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:20

If they have kept my saying - Or, doctrine. Whosoever acknowledges me for the Christ will acknowledge you for my ministers. Some translate the passage thus: If they have Watched my sayings, i.e. with an intent to accuse me for something which I have said, they will Watch yours also: therefore be on your guard. Παρατηρειν has this sense, as we have had occasion to observe before; and perhaps τηρειν has the same sense here, as it is much more agreeable to the context. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:21

Because they know not him that sent me - This is the foundation of all religious persecution: those who are guilty of it, whether in Church or state, know nothing about God. If God tolerates a worship which professes to have him for its object, and which does not disturb the quiet or peace of society, no man has the smallest right to meddle with it; and he that does fights against God. His letting it pass is at least a tacit command that all should treat it as he has done. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:17

Verse 17 17.These things I command you. This too, was appropriately added, that the Apostles might know that mutual love among ministers is demanded above all things, that they may be employed, with one accord, in building up the Church of God; for there is no greater hindrance than when every one labors apart, and when all do not direct their exertions to the common good. If, then, ministers do not maintain brotherly intercourse with each other, they may possibly erect some large heaps, but... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:18

Verse 18 18.If the world hate you. After having armed the Apostles for the battle, Christ exhorts them likewise to patience; for the Gospel cannot be published without instantly driving the world to rage. Consequently, it will never be possible for godly teachers to avoid the hatred of the world. Christ gives them early information of this, that they may not be instances of what usually happens to raw recruits, who, from wont of experience, are valiant before they have seen their enemies, but... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:19

Verse 19 19.If you were of the world. This is another consolation, that the reason why they are hated by the world is, that they have been separated from it. Now, this is their true happiness and glory, for in this manner they have been rescued from destruction. But I have chosen you out of the world. To choose means here to separate Now, if they were chosen out of the world, it follows that they were a part of the world, and that it is only by the mercy of God that they are distinguished from... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:20

Verse 20 20.Remember the word. It might also be read in the indicative mood, You remember the word, and the meaning is not very different; but I think that it is more suitable to read it in the imperative mood, Remember the word. It is a confirmation of what Christ had spoken immediately before, when he said that he was hated by the world, though he was far more excellent than his disciples; for it is unreasonable that the condition of the servant should be better than that of his master Having... read more
