John 15:21

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

They will do this because they do not know the Father or me.

"Blessed are you when people abuse you, and persecute you, and falsely say everything bad of you, on my account.

and you will be brought before governors and kings on my account, to bear your testimony before them and the heathen.

Then they will hand you over to persecution and they will put you to death, and you will be hated by all the heathen because you bear my name.

"Blessed are you when people hate you and exclude you and denounce you and spurn the name you bear as evil, on account of the Son of Man.

For I am going to show him what he will have to endure for my sake."

but be glad that you are in a measure sharing the sufferings of the Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may be triumphantly happy.

For from now on if there are five people in a house they will be divided three against two and two against three.
