Juan 15:2
“Ang bawat sanga sa Akin na hindi namumunga, ay inaalis Niya; at ang bawat sanga na namumunga, ay pinuputol niya upang ito ay magbunga ng higit pa.
(a) Inaalis niya. Ito ay isang mahinang pagsasalin; ang isang mas mahusay ay "Siya lifts up." Ang salita para sa pagkuha ay sagwan which means to lift, pick or raise up and this is how the word is translated in many other places (e.g., Mark 16:18, Luke 5:24, 17:13, John 11:41, Acts 4:24, Rev. 10:5). Unfruitful branches are lifted out of the dirt and redressed so that their only source of life can come from the vine.
The reason why some Christians are barren is that they’re trying to draw life from the world instead of drawing from the life-giving Vine. They are busy, distracted, stressed, and have wandered from their primary love. When believers lose sight of Christ’s love they tend to become religious and busy (Rev. 2:4-5).
Ang lunas ay alalahanin ang taas kung saan ka nahulog at pahintulutan ang Diyos na Hardinero na iangat ka pabalik sa matataas na lugar ng kanyang pag-ibig. Sa paglilibang mo sa kanyang pag-ibig, magbubunga ka ng kanyang bunga nang walang kahirap-hirap.
Karagdagang pagbabasa: "Nakataas ba ang mga sanga na hindi namumunga?”
(b) He prunes. Our Father trims away those time-wasting, energy-sapping distractions that hinder our spiritual growth and the result is we become healthier and more fruitful.
Juan 15:4
“Manatili kayo sa Akin, at Ako sa inyo. Kung paanong ang sanga ay hindi makapagbubunga sa sarili kung hindi ito manatili sa puno ng ubas, gayundin kayo, maliban kung kayo ay manatili sa Akin.
Manatili sa Akin. To abide in Christ is to rest in his love (John 15:9). It’s living with the complete dependence that a branch has for a vine and realizing that apart from him we can do nothing. See pagpasok para sa Pagmamasid.
Juan 15:5
“Ako ang baging, kayo ang mga sanga; Ang nananatili sa Akin at Ako sa kanya, ay nagbubunga ng marami, sapagkat kung hiwalay sa Akin ay wala kayong magagawa.
Ako ang baging, kayo ang mga sanga. What a wonderful picture of our total dependence on Christ. Our union with the Lord is the source of our very life (Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2:5, Col. 3:4). Apart from him we can do nothing, but in him we truly live and move and have our being.
Tingnan mo pagpasok para sa Union.
Juan 15:6
“Kung ang sinuman ay hindi nananatili sa Akin, siya ay itatapon na parang sanga at matutuyo; at kanilang tinitipon ang mga iyon, at inihagis sa apoy at sila ay nasusunog.
(a) Anyone. Jesus has been talking to you disciples (believers) who are already clean (John 15:3). He now widens his discussion to anyone (unbelievers who choose not to abide).
(b) Manatili sa Akin; tingnan mo pagpasok for John 15:4.
(c) Sangay. Ang mga naputol na sanga ay ang mga hindi naniniwala kay Hesus. Kabilang dito ang bansang Israel na tumanggi sa Panginoon at humiwalay sa kanilang sarili dahil sa kanilang kawalan ng pananampalataya (tingnan pagpasok for Rom. 11:17).
(d) Cast into the fire. Those who worry that the Lord will cast away backsliding or under-performing Christians can take comfort in his promises to never cast away those who come to him (e.g., John 6:37). Those who have been born again cannot be unborn. Those who have been made new creations cannot be unmade. If you prove faithless, he will remain faithful (2 Tim. 2:13). There are more than 130 promises guaranteeing the eternal security of the believer.
(e) Apoy. The ungodly and all those things that are opposed to God’s goodness will be destroyed by fire (2 Pet. 2:6, 3:7).
Fire is Old Testament image associated with divine judgment (Is. 66:15–16, Oba. 1:18, Zeph. 3:8, Mal. 4:1). Jesus often spoke of fire in connection with Judgment Day (Matt. 5:22, 13:42, 50, 18:9, 25:41, Mark 9:43, Luke 17:29–30, John 15:6). He did not dread this fire but he looked forward to it knowing that it would spell the end of sin and usher in eternity (see pagpasok for Luke 12:49).
John 15:7
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
(a) Abide. Rest in his love (John 15:9). When we rest in the love of Christ and his word is rooted in our hearts, his desires become our desires. As a result, we bear his fruit and we pray righteous prayers.
(b) Ask. Asking is how we receive (Jas. 4:2). Our Father wants us to ask because asking cultivates dependency and intimacy.
(c) Whatever you wish. When you are living from your union with the Lord, you can be confident that the desires of your heart are from the Lord (Ps. 37:4).
(d) It will be done because you have prayed according to the will of God. When we align our faith with the promises of God, good things happen.
Prayers go unanswered for one of two reasons; they are not asked or they are asked with wrong motives (Jas. 4:2–3).
Juan 15:9
“Kung paanong inibig Ako ng Ama, ay inibig ko rin kayo; manatili sa Aking pag-ibig.
(a) Minahal Ako ng Ama. The original word for love means to be well pleased or fond of or contented with. It describes the unconditional love God the Father has for his Son (John 3:35, 17:26), for the whole world (John 3:16), and for his children (Eph. 2:4, 1 John 3:1). God loves you with the same sort of love he has for Jesus (see pagpasok for John 17:23).
(b) Manatili sa aking pag-ibig. Under the old law-keeping covenant, you were commanded to love the Lord your God with all your heart (Deut. 6:5, 10:12). The flow was from you to the Lord. But in the new covenant of grace, we love because he first loved us (1 John 4:19). It is because we know the love of Christ (Eph. 3:19) that we are able to walk in his love (Eph. 5:2), keep ourselves in his love (Jude 1:21), and remain in his love (John 15:9, 10, 1 John 4:12, 16).
Juan 15:10
“Kung tutuparin ninyo ang Aking mga utos, mananatili kayo sa Aking pag-ibig; kung paanong ako ay tumupad sa mga utos ng Aking Ama at nananatili sa Kanyang pag-ibig.
(a) Kung susundin mo ang Aking mga utos. Obedience is a fruit of trusting Jesus (1 John 3:23).
In the new covenant, obedience follows trust, and we trust him because we know him. However, someone with an old covenant mindset reverses the order: “If you wish to know him, you must keep his commandments.” Perversely, this mindset will have the very opposite effect as it will cause you to trust in yourself while alienating you from Christ (Gal. 5:4).
(b) Ang aking ama; tingnan mo pagpasok for John 4:21.
(c) Ang mga utos ng aking Ama. God commands us to believe in Jesus and love one another (1 John 3:23)
In contrast with the heavy yoke of Moses (Act 15:10), the yoke of Jesus is light (Matt. 11:30). “His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3
(d) Manatili sa kanyang pag-ibig. Ang manatili sa pag-ibig ng Ama ay ang manatili sa pag-ibig ni Jesus (tingnan ang nakaraang talata).
Juan 15:12
“Ito ang Aking utos, na kayo ay mag-ibigan sa isa't isa, kung paanong inibig Ko kayo.
(a) utos ko. Christ’s command to love one another is sometimes referred to as the law of Christ (1 Cor. 9:21, Gal. 6:2), or the new commandment (John 13:34, 1 John 2:8, 2 John 1:5).
(b) Kahit na minahal kita. In the new covenant of grace, we love because he first loved us (1 John 4:19).
Jesus was once asked to name the greatest commandment in the law. Jesus replied that the first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matt. 22:36-38). Note that this is the greatest commandment sa batas. Under the law-keeping covenant, the flow was from you to the Lord (Deut. 6:5, 10:12). You loved God because it was a law that came with consequences. But in the new covenant of grace, we love one another with the same love that Christ loved us.
Karagdagang pagbabasa: "Ano ang batas ni Kristo?”
Juan 15:13
“Walang may higit na dakilang pag-ibig kaysa rito, na ang isa ay mag-alay ng kanyang buhay para sa kanyang mga kaibigan.
Higit na pagmamahal. Sa pamamagitan ng kahulugan ang agape-love of God is unconditional and self-sacrificing (Eph. 5:2, 25, 1 John 3:16). God will never make you jump through hoops to earn his love. He won’t love you any more if you succeed and he won’t love you any less if you fail. There is nothing you can do to make him love you more, and nothing you can do to make him love you less.

John 15:15
“No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.
I have called you friends. Jesus called his disciples “friends” and not “brothers” because they remained outside of the family of God. They were not yet Christians and could not become so until Jesus was raised from the dead (see Rom. 10:9). It is good to be God’s friend, but it’s even better to be his child. Our adoption into the new creation family of God is only possible because of what Christ accomplished on the cross.
Juan 15:16
“Hindi ninyo Ako pinili, ngunit pinili Ko kayo, at hinirang ko kayo upang kayo ay yumaon at magbunga, at ang inyong bunga ay manatili, upang anumang hingin ninyo sa Ama sa Aking pangalan ay maibigay niya sa inyo.
Whatever you ask. The God Jesus revealed is a listening and responsive Father (Matt. 6:8, 7:11, 18:19, Luke 11:13, John 16:23, 26). He hears your prayers and knows your needs even before you ask him (Matt 6:8).
John 15:20
“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
Persecute. The original verb diōkō, which is related to the Greek verb diō (meaning “to flee”), has both positive and negative meanings depending on the context. In a positive context, it means “to pursue” or “strive for.” We are to pursue love (1 Cor. 14:1), pursue righteousness (1 Tim. 6:11), and pursue the things which make for peace (Rom. 14:19). In a negative context, it means “to persecute, harass, or oppress” (e.g., Matt. 5:10–12). It can also mean “to drive out or expel” (e.g., Matt. 23:24).
Juan 15:25
“Ngunit ginawa nila ito upang matupad ang salita na nasusulat sa kanilang Kautusan, 'KINAPOOT NILA AKO NG WALANG DAHILAN.'
Written in their Law. Jesus is quoting Psalm 35:19 or 69:4. The Psalms do not form part of the Law of Moses or the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). Jesus is referring to the Hebrew Scriptures or the Old Testament. For similar examples, see John 10:34, 12:34 and 1 Cor. 14:21.
Juan 15:26
“Pagdating ng Mangaaliw, na aking ipadadala sa inyo mula sa Ama, na siyang Espiritu ng katotohanan na nagmumula sa Ama, siya ang magpapatotoo tungkol sa Akin,
Ang Katulong ay ang Espiritu Santo; tingnan mo pagpasok for John 14:16.

Thank you so much for you commentary on John 15:2! Reading it was so life-giving for me today. I’ve been wondering and meditating on John 15:2 where Jesus said every branch IN ME does not bear fruit, He TAKES AWAY. WHY would a branch IN JESUS not bear fruit?? and so harsh that it gets taken away! BUT! here’s what “takes away” means–>He lifts up, pick up, raise up! THANK YOU LORD JESUS! Even when I get distracted and even busy with religious things, and inevitably feel empty, Jesus LIFTS me up! REMEMBER your first love Rev. 2:4-5.
I’m there too this was very encouraging and helps me to be a better version of His hands and feet. To love better, to love in truth with the Love He produces as a stay connected to Him!
