Joh 15:1-27.
英文原文
Joh 15:1-27.
DISCOURSE AT THE SUPPER TABLE CONTINUED.
1-8. The spiritual oneness of Christ and His people, and His relation to them as the Source of all their spiritual life and fruitfulness, are here beautifully set forth by a figure familiar to Jewish ears
(Isa 5:1,
&c.).
I am the true vine--of whom the vine of nature is but a shadow.
my Father is the husbandman--the great Proprietor of the vineyard, the Lord of the spiritual kingdom. (It is surely unnecessary to point out the claim to supreme divinity involved in this).

2. 凡属我不结果子的枝子……凡结果子的枝子——正如在一棵果树上，有的枝子可能结果，另一些则完全荒芜，取决于枝子和树干之间有生命的连接，还是没有生命的连接；照样，基督的门徒也可能在属灵上结果子或反之，取决于他们是否与基督有生命的和属灵的连接，还是仅仅外在并机械地附属于他。那不结果子的，他就「剪去」（见
Joh 15:6）；
那结果子的，他就「修理」（洁净、修剪）——剥去它，正如栽培的人所作的，那些徒长的部分
(Mr 4:19)，
「使它结更多果子」；这一过程常常痛苦，但与在自然的园艺中一样，是同样必要且有益的。
英文原文
2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit . . . every branch that beareth fruit--As in a fruit tree, some branches may be fruitful, others quite barren, according as there is a vital connection between the branch and the stock, or no vital connection; so the disciples of Christ may be spiritually fruitful or the reverse, according as they are vitally and spiritually connected with Christ, or but externally and mechanically attached to Him. The fruitless He "taketh away" (see on
Joh 15:6);
the fruitful He "purgeth" (cleanseth, pruneth)--stripping it, as the husbandman does, of what is rank
(Mr 4:19),
"that it may bring forth more fruit"; a process often painful, but no less needful and beneficial than in the natural husbandry.

3. 如今——不如说，「已经」。
你们因——因着。
我讲给你们的道已经干净了——已经处于被洁净、结果子的状态，这是由于那如同「炼金之人的火」一般锐利的「道」长期作用于他们之上的结果
(Mal 3:2, 3)。
英文原文
3. Now--rather, "Already."
ye are clean through--by reason of.
the word I have spoken to you--already in a purified, fruitful condition, in consequence of the long action upon them of that searching "word" which was "as a refiner's fire"
(Mal 3:2, 3).

4. 你们要常在我里面，我也常在你们里面。枝子若不常在葡萄树上，自己就不能结果子等等——既然一切属灵的果子都被归因于基督和他门徒之间相互的内住和活的、主动的相互贯通（可以这么说），那么此处维持这一生命连接就被定为持续结果子所必需的。
英文原文
4. Abide in me, and I in you; as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, &c.--As all spiritual fruitfulness had been ascribed to the mutual inhabitation, and living, active interpenetration (so to speak) of Christ and His disciples, so here the keeping up of this vital connection is made essential to continued fruitfulness.

无标题
5. 离了我——分开，或生命上与我断开。
你们就不能作什么——属灵地，蒙悦纳地。
英文原文
5. without me--apart, or vitally disconnected from Me.
ye can do nothing--spiritually, acceptably.
6
无标题
6. 人若不常在我里面，就像枝子丢在外面枯干……扔在火里烧了——葡萄树唯一的正当用途是结果子；做不到这一点，它只适合另一件事——柴火。（见
Eze 15:1-5）。
从这个角度看，这比喻何等可畏而惊人！
英文原文
6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch . . . withered . . . cast into the fire . . . burned--The one proper use of the vine is to bear fruit; failing this, it is good for one other thing--fuel. (See
Eze 15:1-5).
How awfully striking the figure, in this view of it!

无标题
7. 你们若常在我里面，我的话……也常在你们里面——请注意从他自己的内住到他话的内住之转换，为随后的劝勉铺路
(Joh 15:9, 10)。
凡你们所愿意的，祈求就给你们成就——因为他话语在他们里头的内住，会保证他们的祈求与神的旨意和谐。
英文原文
7. If ye abide in me, and my words . . . in you--Mark the change from the inhabitation of Himself to that of His words, paving the way for the subsequent exhortations
(Joh 15:9, 10).
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you--because this indwelling of His words in them would secure the harmony of their askings with the divine will.
8
无标题
8. 你们多结果子，我父就因此得荣耀——不仅因他本身喜悦这果子，也如来自「活葡萄树」的汁液。
你们也就是我的门徒了——显明你们的门徒身份。
英文原文
8. glorified that ye bear much fruit--not only from His delight in it for its own sake, but as from "the juices of the Living Vine."
so shall ye be my disciples--evidence your discipleship.
9
无标题
9-11. 常在我的爱里——不是「继续爱我」，而是「继续拥有并享受我对你们的爱」；从下面的话可以明显看出。
英文原文
9-11. continue ye in my love--not, "Continue to love Me," but, "Continue in the possession and enjoyment of My love to you"; as is evident from the next words.
10
无标题
10. 你们若遵守我的命令，就常在我的爱里——真门徒那顺服的灵珍视并吸引基督之爱的持续和增加；而他加上，这甚至也是他自己常在父爱里的秘诀！
英文原文
10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love--the obedient spirit of true discipleship cherishing and attracting the continuance and increase of Christ's love; and this, He adds, was the secret even of His own abiding in His Father's love!
12
无标题
12-16. 你们要彼此相爱等等——（见
Joh 13:34, 35）。
英文原文
12-16. That ye love one another, &c.--(See on
Joh 13:34, 35).
13
无标题
13. 人为朋友舍命，人的爱心没有比这个大的——重点不在「朋友」，而在为他们「舍命」；即，「一个人对他所亲爱的所能表示的关怀，没有比为她们舍命更大的了，这就是你们在我里面要找到的爱。」
英文原文
13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends--The emphasis lies not on "friends," but on "laying down his life" for them; that is, "One can show no greater regard for those dear to him than to give his life for them, and this is the love ye shall find in Me."
14
无标题
14. 你们若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友了——使自己完全服从于我。
英文原文
14. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you--hold yourselves in absolute subjection to Me.
15
无标题
15. 以后我不再称你们为仆人——即，在下文所解释的意义上；因为他仍称他们为仆人
(Joh 15:20)，
他们也乐意如此自称，在「在基督的律法之下」的意义上
(1Co 9:20)。
仆人不知道主人所作的事——对主人的计划和理由一无所知，只是接受并执行他的命令。
但是我……的朋友，因我从我父所听见的，都已经告诉你们了——接纳你们进入自由、不受约束的交通，没有任何我所受托要传达的事向你们隐藏。（比较
Ge 18:17; Ps 25:14; Isa 50:4）。
英文原文
15. Henceforth I call you not servants--that is, in the sense explained in the next words; for servants He still calls them
(Joh 15:20),
and they delight to call themselves so, in the sense of being "under law to Christ"
(1Co 9:20).
the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth--knows nothing of his master's plans and reasons, but simply receives and executes his orders.
but . . . friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you--admitted you to free, unrestrained fellowship, keeping back nothing from you which I have received to communicate. (Compare
Ge 18:17; Ps 25:14; Isa 50:4).
16
无标题
16. 不是你们拣选了我，乃是我……拣选了你们——在他刚才说过他们彼此内住、以及他们被接纳所享受的不受保留的友谊那些崇高的事之后，这是一个全盘的提醒。
派——分派。
你们去结果子——即，献上自己于这事。
并且你们的果子常存——表明它是一种不可朽坏、不断生长的原则。（比较
Pr 4:18; 2Jo 8）。
使你们奉我的名，无论向父求什么等等——（见
Joh 15:7）。
英文原文
16. Ye have not chosen me, but I . . . you--a wholesale memento after the lofty things He had just said about their mutual indwelling, and the unreservedness of the friendship they had been admitted to.
ordained--appointed.
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit--that is, give yourselves to it.
and that your fruit should remain--showing itself to be an imperishable and ever growing principle. (Compare
Pr 4:18; 2Jo 8).
that whatsoever ye shall ask, &c.--(See on
Joh 15:7).

等等）。

Mt 10:34-36;
Lu 12:49-53,
&c.).
22
无标题
22-25. （见
Joh 9:39-41）。
我若没有来教训他们，他们就没有罪——相对上没有罪；因为与弃绝神的儿子相比，其他一切罪都是轻微的。
如今他们没有借口了——不如作「借口」。
英文原文
22-25. (See on
Joh 9:39-41).
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin--comparatively none; all other sins being light compared with the rejection of the Son of God.
now they have no cloak for their sin--rather, "pretext."
24
无标题
24. 我若没有在他们中间行过别人未曾行的事——（见

Ps 69:4，
也以同样的意义用于
Joh 2:17; Ac 1:20; Ro 11:9, 10; 15:3。
英文原文
25. that the word might be fulfilled . . . They hated me without a cause--quoted from the Messianic
Ps 69:4,
applied also in the same sense in
Joh 2:17; Ac 1:20; Ro 11:9, 10; 15:3.

27
无标题
27. 你们也要作见证——不如作「是见证」；虽指他们将来的作见证，却把重点放在他们如今已有充分的资格来取得那伟大职分的机会上，因为他们「从起初就与他同在」。（见
Lu 1:2）。
英文原文
27. ye also shall bear witness--rather, "are witnesses"; with reference indeed to their future witness-bearing, but putting the emphasis upon their present ample opportunities for acquiring their qualifications for that great office, inasmuch as they had been "with Him from the beginning." (See on
Lu 1:2).
Joh 15:1-27.
晚餐席间的讲论续。
1-8. 基督与他百姓之间属灵的合一，以及他作为他们一切属灵生命和结果子的源头与他们之间的关系，在此以一个犹太人耳熟能详的比喻美妙地呈现出来
(Isa 5:1,
等等)。
我是真葡萄树——自然界的葡萄树不过是它的影子。
我父是栽培的人——葡萄园的大业主，属灵国度的主。（指出其中所涉及的至高神性的宣告显然是不必要的）。
