Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 15:1-8
Joh 15:1-27. Discourse at the Supper Table Continued. 1-8.

Barnes' Notes
Abide in you. Not only are remembered, but are suffered to remain in you as a living principle, to regulate your affections and life.
Ye shall ask, &c. See Jn 14:13. This promise had particular reference to the apostles. It is applicable to other Christians only so far as they are in circumstances similar to the apostles, and only so far as they possess their spirit.

Were we perfect in all things, he would always hear us, and we should be kept from making an improper petition; but just so far as men regard iniquity in their heart, the Lord will not hear them, Ps 66:18.

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…
