Joh 15:6. Ἐν ἐμοὶ, in Me) as in the vine.-ἐβλήθη) By that very fact he is (he renders himself) deserving of being cast out: and accordingly he shall surely be cast out. The first Aorist. The expression ἐὰν μὴ μείνῃ, if a man shall not abide in Me, is in the Future: and so in the Apodosis the ἐβλήθη, [“He is at once cast out”] denotes that which forthwith ensues. A similar Aorist, ἐκέρδησας, “If he shall hear thee, thou hast (by the very fact) gained thy brother,” occurs in Mat 18:15.-ἔξω, out) from the vineyard.-ἐξηράνθη, he is withered) as a branch cast into the highway. See Mat 13:12.-συνάγουσιν, gather together) Mat 13:40-41.-αὐτὰ, them) viz. all the rejected (worthless) branches.-καίεται, they are burned) The simple verb is here employed with great force and striking majesty.
