约翰福音 15:6 CUVS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 15:1-27

The Self-revelation of Christ John 14:0 , John 15:0 We cannot understand the opening of the fourteenth chapter unless we read it in immediate connection with the close of the thirteenth. "Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice." "Let" notwithstanding all cowardice and recession and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 15:1-8

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. (4) Abide in me, and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches, he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 15:1-8

1-8 Jesus Christ is the Vine, the true Vine. The union of the human and Divine natures, and the fulness of the Spirit that is in him, resemble the root of the vine made fruitful by the moisture from a rich soil. Believers are branches of this Vine. The root is unseen, and our life is hid with Christ; the root bears the tree, diffuses sap to it, and in Christ are all supports and supplies. The branches of the vine are many, yet, meeting in the root, are all but one vine; thus all true... read more

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 15:6-10

The earnest application: v. 6. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered; and men gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. v. 7. If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. v. 8. Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples. v. 9. As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you; continue ye in My love. v. 10. If ye keep My commandments,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 15:5-8

John THE TRUE BRANCHES OF THE TRUE VINE Joh_15:5 - Joh_15:8 . No wise teacher is ever afraid of repeating himself. The average mind requires the reiteration of truth before it can make that truth its own. One coat of paint is not enough, it soon rubs off. Especially is this true in regard to lofty spiritual and religious truth, remote from men’s ordinary thinkings, and in some senses unwelcome to them. So our Lord, the great Teacher, never shrank from repeating His lessons when He saw that... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 15:1-9

the Condition of Fruitfulness John 15:1-9 The vine is not able to do its work in the world without its branches; they stretch far from the root, to bear its strength and sweetness to those who stand outside the wall, Genesis 49:22 . We need the Lord Jesus, but He also needs us. Without us He cannot bless men as He would. What a sublime thought is here-that Jesus needs something which I can yield Him! Service to God and man is possible only through abiding union in Him. Let us yield ourselves... 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

Robert Neighbour

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
