Definitions for John 15:20
Clarke's John 15:20 Bible Commentary
If they have kept my saying - Or, doctrine. Whosoever acknowledges me for the Christ will acknowledge you for my ministers.
Some translate the passage thus: If they have Watched my sayings, i.e. with an intent to accuse me for something which I have said, they will Watch yours also: therefore be on your guard. Παρατηρειν has this sense, as we have had occasion to observe before; and perhaps τηρειν has the same sense here, as it is much more agreeable to the context.
Barnes's John 15:20 Bible Commentary
Remember the word that I said ... - At their first appointment to the apostolic office. See Matthew 10:24-25.
