Commentary on John 15:21

Theological / Devotional

For my name’s sake. That is, for my sake, or, on my account. “Name” often stands for person or character (see Matt. 10:22 ; 12:21).

Know not him. They professed to know and worship God, but they were ignorant of His character and misconstrued His word. Compare chs. 14:7; 16:3; 17:3.
