ヨハネの福音書 15:14 JCB

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 15:1-99

John 15 IN SPEAKING OF Himself as the Vine the Lord adopted a figure which in the Old Testament had been applied to Israel, notably in such passages as Psalms 80.8-80.18 ; Isa 5.1-5.7 . In the Psalm the desolation of the vine is declared, but mention is made of “the Branch” and “the Son of Man,” that “Thou madest strong for Thyself.” In Isaiah the reason for the desolation is made plain. Israel as the vine brought forth nothing but wild and worthless grapes. There was no fruit for God. Jesus... read more

John CHRIST’S FRIENDS Joh_15:14 - Joh_15:17 . A wonderful word has just dropped from the Master’s lips, when He spoke of laying down His life for His friends. He lingers on it as if the idea conveyed was too great and sweet to be taken in at once, and with soothing reiteration He assures the little group that they, even they, are His friends. I have ventured to take these four verses for consideration now, although each of them, and each clause of them, might afford ample material for a... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 15:10-16

“I Have Called You Friends” John 15:10-16 We must estimate the Father’s love to Jesus before we can measure His love to us. We are told to love one another with the same love, but enabling power is needed, or we can never fulfill His command. Our love is not like His, unless it is prepared to sacrifice itself even unto death. Not servants, but friends! The first stage is that of the bondservant, who does what he is told, not because he understands, but because he has no option. Friendship... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 15:1-27

Our Lord now uttered the great allegory of the vine. Certain words in it arrest our attention, "the vine," "the branches," "the fruit." The close interrelationship between these is emphasized, and our Lord declared, "I am the Vine, ye are the branches." The vine includes all-root, stem, branches, leaves, and fruit. No figure of speech could more perfectly set forth the intimate relationship between Christ and His own. In applying the truth, the commandments of the Lord are found in remarkable... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 15:1-15

The Holy Ghost John 15:1-15 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We are confronted with one of the great themes of Scripture. The word "Ghost" is an old English word meaning "guest." The Holy Spirit is the Holy Ghost, that is, the Holy Guest from the Father. Jesus Christ said, "I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter." The Holy Ghost is a Guest who is ever with us. He is the " Paracletos " from God He walks at our side. He is the One who has come unto us, that He might convict the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:1-27

Jesus’ Final Words To His Apostles (John 13:31 to John 17:26 ). This next section, from John 13:31 to John 17:26, can be seen as the equivalent of the dying words of Jesus. Words spoken on approaching death, and especially on a deathbed, were considered to be particularly potent. There are numerous examples of this in Scripture, like the blessings of Jacob to his sons in Genesis 47:29 to Genesis 49:33, Moses’ farewell words in Deuteronomy 33:0, the farewell of Joshua to the nation of Israel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:12-14

“This is what I command you (my commandment) that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do the things which I command you”. It is extremely important to recognise that Jesus, having informed His disciples that they must dwell continually in Him, now stresses that they must love one another. The Christian life is two way. Firstly we concentrate on Christ and seek to dwell... read more

2). As the New Israel the Disciples Are To Love One Another (John 15:12-17 ). The fruit required of the branches of the vine is now clearly expressed. As branches of the true Vine they are to love one another, just as He Who is the vine has loved them. This is something that He had already emphasised in John 13:34-35. read more
