John Gill
Herein is my Father glorified,.... This does not so much refer to what goes before, concerning the disciples abiding in Christ, and he and his words abiding in them, and doing for them whatever they ask, though by all this God is glorified; as to what follows, the fruitfulness of the disciples: that ye bear much fruit; of doctrine, grace, and good works, which show them to be trees of...
Matthew Henry
It is generally agreed that Christ's discourse in this and the next chapter was at the close of the last supper, the night in which he was betrayed, and it is a continued discourse, not interrupted as that in the foregoing chapter was; and what he chooses to discourse of is very pertinent to the present sad occasion of a farewell sermon. Now that he was about to leave them, I. They would be...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. If we are his true disciples, we also shall bring forth much fruit.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. “Much fruit” should be produced by the disciples of the much-doing Christ. The true Vine was full of fruit, and it scarcely can be believed that we are branches of that Vine if we exhibit only a little fruit. It is “much fruit” that proves our union to this Vine.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. “Ye shall be known to be my disciples.” Everybody will perceive that you must be branches of that fruitful vine, Christ Jesus, if ye bear much fruit.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: What a glorious word! I scarcely know a text more deep, more full than this. After the same manner as God the Father loves the Son — after that same sort does the Son love us. Hear ye the words again, “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue ye...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. You shall be known to be the disciples of the much fruit-bearing Saviour. He was no moderately good man, he was not one who was only a little useful in the world; but our blessed Master was perfectly consecrated, he abounded in every good word and work; and unless we are the same, how shall men think that we are...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; What a wonderful vine that must be whose branches glorify God! Who ever heard of such a thing? The very branches do this, and they do it by bearing fruit. How this ought to excite us to desire to bear Christian graces, and to do Christian service, and to endure with resignation the Lord’s will, for those are the clusters that hang upon this...
