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

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

“-and my Father is the vinedresser.” And just as God tended, and then dealt severely, with the false vine of old, now He will tend the true vine. He will watch over it and do all that is necessary for it to flourish, and because it is the true vine it will be fruitful (see Isaiah 27:2-6). The picture is of the tenderness of God on behalf of the vine, but also of His severe activity in rejecting what is false. For even here the unfruitful branches are cut off and cast into the fire. The new... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:1-11

1). Jesus Is The New Israel, Which is To Act As The New Witness for God In The World. If We Would Enjoy His Blessing We Must Do So By Living Continually In Him In Trust and Obedience As Branches Remain In The Vine (15:1-11). Jesus now wishes to encourage His disciples further before finally leaving the Upper Room and therefore emphasises their oneness with Him, something which can be illustrated by His Oneness with the Father. He likens Himself to the True Vine of which they were the fruitful... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:1-27

John 15. The Vine.— The relation of the following chapters to 14 has been discussed. The Parœ mia, or parable-like discourse, reminds us of the parable or metaphor of the Good Shepherd in ch. 10 . Two thoughts are prominent here, the pruning needed to get rid of useless branches and to ensure the fruitfulness of the rest, and the intimate union between Christ and His disciples, symbolised by the relation of the branches to the vine. We must compare the OT teaching which represents Israel as... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 15:1

Chapter Introduction As our Saviour in the former chapter had chiefly spent his discourse for the relief of his disciples under their trouble for the want of his bodily presence, so he seemeth in this chiefly to bend his discourse for the comfort of them under their disturbance, for fear they should, together with the want of the comfort they had in his bodily presence, want also his spiritual influences; to prevent which, he compares himself to a vine, then to the branches; and showeth by that... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 15:1-17

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 15:1. True vine.—Christ and the disciples were now on the way to Gethsemane. Their passing through the vineyards, etc., surrounding the city may have suggested this image: others think it may have been called up by a vine in the courtyard, or on the roof, of the house where the supper was instituted; others, by the golden vine which adorned one of the temple gates; and others still, by the fires of the vine-prunings along the valley of the Kidron. The first... read more

DISCOURSE: 1690CHRISTIANS BRANCHES OF THE TRUE VINEJohn 15:1-2. I am the vine, and my Father is the husband-man. 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.THE union which subsists between Christ and his Church is mysterious: the Scripture sets it forth both in figurative and plain expressions. It is spoken of not as a speculative or doubtful point, but as well known [Note: John 14:20.]. It is... read more
